FY–101 FIRST YEAR SEMINAR
FALL/SPRING/ALL YEARS

3 credit hours

In this active and collaborative learning environment student are challenged to think deeply about their interests, talents, values, aspirations, and goals-and to articulate all of this into a Personal Mission Statement. The declaration of a compelling reason why students have endeavored to graduate from UOG is interwoven into the recognition and development of effective life skills and the establishment and practice of strong academic skills. The semester will culminate with a common intellectual experience where students will read a resiliency memoir and develop their own narrative of resilience. This shared experience will create at UOG a shared knowledge, a shared language, a shared code of ethics, and most importantly a shared championing of the value of higher education.
