The First-Year Experience (FYE) at the University of Mary Washington brings together a variety of initiatives and programs to support new students in their transition to the University as they engage with all that UMW has to offer. From academic and career exploration to rigorous coursework and co-curricular involvement, first-year students are immersed in a rigorous academic community that builds the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind necessary for success at UMW and beyond.
