Freshman orientation programs don't just end with Wildcat Welcome anymore. Thanks to the Office of New Student and Family Programs, about a quarter of the class of 2017 are part of a pilot initiative called IGNITE. Students will meet every other month in small groups and with peer advisers in order to continue fostering the community and dialogue that occurs during Wildcat Welcome.
The first small group discussions starts this week, and three students share their hopes and apprehensions about what this program will mean for their school year.
