Celebrating 25 Years of FYE at UConn!

This year marks an incredible milestone—25 years of First-Year Experience (FYE) at UConn! And we couldn’t be more excited to kick off the new academic year with an amazing team dedicated to helping our first-year students succeed.

FYE serves as the backbone of UConn’s Learning Communities (LCs), first-generation student initiatives, international student support, and programs across all campuses. With the commitment of our program faculty, staff, and graduate student instructors, partners and student leaders, we’re helping students find their home at UConn.

Over 350 Mentors, Coaches, TAs, Supervising TAs, Floor Mentors, and Maker Mentors returned to campus early, eager and ready to go through extensive training, ensuring they’re fully prepared to support our incoming Huskies. Their commitment to student success and passion for making a positive impact is what makes our FYE program truly special!

Here’s to a quarter-century of fostering student success, community, and growth—and to many more years of excellence ahead. Let’s go, Huskies! 💙🤍
