On August 7 , FYE kicked off on the Melbourne Campus with a total of 2,519 students participating in two days of activities – the official Welcome Event that consisted of tabling opportunities where departments showcased services and connected with students one-on-one , and a Field Day with games , food trucks , and the chance to make connections with fellow students .
Since that time , students have been invited to monthly “ connect ” activities , including socials and workshops that have been specifically designed to support the retention and successful completion of their first year at EFSC and beyond .
As students navigate through the programming , they are being surveyed routinely to ensure that subsequent programming is built to meet student needs .
“ What a great program for those of us just starting here in college . I discovered the
Titan Virtual Hub and attended one of the
Time Management Sessions . It was comforting to know that there are people there to help you , especially with school , work , and personal life balance .”
