First Year Seminar

Spring Semester: January-May, 2023

During the spring semester, you'll take a GPS First Year Seminar with mentors and other GPS classmates. This class will help you continue to develop and sharpen the skills you need to be successful in college. You’ll also be introduced to a real-world issue you and your classmates will wrestle with throughout the year. You will work with a peer mentor during one-on-one sessions who will provide resources and ideas to help you stay on course and headed toward your educational goals.
