FYE also offers Family & Community Engagement services to prospective students and their family to complete the process and ensure every ELAC student is Seen, Heard and Connected.
First-Year Experience Goals:
What is the purpose of the First-Year Experience?
FYE staff collaborates with scholars to help them succeed during their first-year and persist to their second year at ELAC.
Counseling, success management, and dynamic programming assure that FYE scholars do well academically and socially.
The First-Year Experience ensures that all first-year scholars have a home while at ELAC and are continuously inspired to achieve greatness.
Benefits of making the First-Year Experience Home:
FYE scholars enroll in learning communities that have built in academic supports.
Throughout the scholars’ year commitment with FYE, they learn about and develop self-advocacy skills and pursue a college-going mindset via various programming, mentorship, counseling and educational trips in collaboration with the transfer center.
FYE scholars have full support from a dedicated and empowering family. The FYE family includes staff and professors who are equipped to fully guide them to reach their academic potential, inspire them to transfer to a four-year university and achieve greatness.
