The First Lyndon Year Experience will provide a strong welcome to entering students by building their sense of belonging and connecting them to the Lyndon traditions. The first-year program is a shared responsibility of faculty, staff, and upper-class students who will provide support networks for entering students and actively integrate new students into the life of the college. The first-year program will offer purposeful and engaging learning opportunities both in- and out-of-the-classroom. The first-year program will provide intentional connections to academic and social support networks to ensure the success of the student's first year at Lyndon.
