The Second Year Experience Program will reflect on student’s first year experience and conduct a deeper self-exploration of their identity, values, and life goals. The program assists students in expanding their professional network, creating a sense of community, selecting their major, and build students career readiness competence. Overall, students will engage in a dialogue on how to overcome challenges faced by underrepresented students and gain mentorship support in achieving their academic, career, health & wellness, and scholarship/financial goals. Through engaging in cohort meetings and networking opportunities with graduates and alumni from historically underrepresented backgrounds, students will design their strategic graduation life plan.
