Recordings on the Student Experience

Oftentimes, it can be helpful to learn from those who've been there before - in similar shoes, facing similar dilemmas as they navigating new terrain in a new place like college. We've recorded a couple of sessions (links provided below) where our Blugolds discuss the challenges and successes they've had as new students on this campus. If you are joining us virtually this year, this information will still be super helpful to keeping you connected and engaged with our campus and it's resources.

Please note that while our sessions are facilitated by certain groups below (either transfer or first year), you are welcome to review them both to learn more!
