Office of First-Year Experience

The Office of First-Year Experience at Berry College offers a variety of academic and social support services to help new students adjust to the demands of college life.  In addition to assisting the dean of academic services with the first-year advising program, the FYE Office coordinates the First-Year Seminar (BCC 100) class.  During orientation, the FYE Office offers a two-hour "crash course" in college success and organizes a  book discussion that allows freshmen to enjoy dinner and conversation with Berry faculty and staff (usually at their home).  The FYE Office publishes Your College Journey, a collection of essays by Berry students, faculty, and staff that serves as a text for First-Year Seminar.

The Office of First-Year Experience is located in Krannert 331.
