Upperclass Experience Program

At this point in your college career, you have become a leader in your academic and social circles. Emphasis in this year is placed on focusing on your future, including the creation of a post graduation plan and preparing for graduate exams, if applicable.

Here are just some examples of the many exciting and beneficial developmental programs you will have the opportunity to participate in throughout the academic year.

• Experiential Learning Opportunities: Allows you to apply the knowledge you have learned to opportunities outside the university. Co-ops, study abroad and community service initiatives are examples of some of these opportunities.
• Life Skills Series: A series of seminars geared toward arming you with the skills you need when you leave the university environment - managing finances, budgeting and purchasing a car.
• Residential College Alumni Receptions: Reunite with fellow members of your residential college and share your experiences with first year students who are just learning about the university.
• "Coming of Age" Birthday Card: Most upperclass students will turn 21 at some point during the academic year. You will receive a "Coming of Age" birthday card reminding you to be responsible with alcohol.
