FYSOP

Will the First Year Student Outreach Project (FYSOP) still happen?

A FYSOP program will be available for our first-year students. Because the Community Service Center is still finalizing details, registration for this year’s FYSOP is currently delayed. Students interested in FYSOP should complete an interest form on the CSC website to be alerted when the program details are available and registration is open.

Matriculation

Will there be an in-person matriculation ceremony?

We are hopeful that a Matriculation ceremony will take place for the incoming class. A plan is under review, and details will be available by July 1. If Matriculation is held in-person, guests (including parents and other family members) will not be permitted to attend.

Weeks of Welcome

I’m a first-year student, how do I create a community and find friends?

We’re working closely with our counterparts in the Undergraduate Programs Working Group to develop programming and outlets through which first-year students can meet and build a community with fellow Terriers. This information will be communicated directly to students during the summer and fall semester.
