First Year Experience Programs - YOGOWYPI University

Build Relationship Create Your Own Reasons to Stay on Campus

​

What we have discovered is that students who learn to build positive relationships in their first few months on campus find their own reasons to stay on campus and fulfill their degree. Every campus has something to offer students, and my message is pretty simple: Say YES to all that is positive for your first 60 days on campus and by doing so you will create your own personal reasons for staying. That's good wisdom for all of us, and together in our first year experience programs we give students the tools to make it a habit.
