UNIV 101 First Year Experience classes are an introduction to USI and the undergraduate experience with a focus on academic success, campus involvement and community engagement. Students discuss issues of value and behavior in the college setting, discover what resources are available to them, and learn what it means to integrate themselves into the campus and surrounding communities. UNIV 101 is a course that bridges the transition between high school and the responsibilities and rewards of college.
Faculty instructors engage students in various activities in the classroom and across campus. Guest speakers bring community engagement to the classroom by providing insight into various career paths and opportunities. USI alums who speak to students find this a rewarding experience and an opportunity to give back to the University.
