First Year Engagement

What is the Purpose?

Welcome to ESU and this exciting new stage in your life. By making a strong academic start and forging campus connections early to the Warrior Community, you are much more likely to complete your first semester, to persevere through four years, and to graduate on time! For this reason, ESU asks all beginning students to complete the First Year Engagement (FYE) Program Passport, which consists of two parts: FYE–Academic Success and FYE–Campus Connections.

Fulfill all requirements and you can put your name in for a drawing which includes multiple exciting prizes.

How Do You Complete the Program?

The FYE–Academic Success path will direct you to workshops on college-level study strategies and will acquaint you with academic support centers which provide tutoring, writing help, math coaching, and library research assistance. It will show you “how to” procedures for navigating the university, how to communicate with your ESU academic success centers, etc. Becoming competent at these procedures will give you greater control and help you make the best choices for your college career. FIND YOUR Academic Success Passport on your Warrior Link.

The FYE-Campus Connections path provides a structure of exposure to exciting programs that will connect you with your new Warrior Community. These events cover various areas of interest on campus, which include community building, recreation, diversity & inclusion, health & wellness, professional development, civic engagement, clubs & organizations, and more. The entire First-Seven-Weeks event calendar is provided for you. Becoming acquainted with these initiatives will not only help you forge relationships with like-minded Warriors, but will also introduce you to possible leadership opportunities during your time at ESU.
