- Time and Stress Management

FYE Guides
FYE Guides are trained peer mentors who attend First-Year Seminar (FYSM) classes and support faculty in fostering first-year student success. They enhance student engagement, connect students with campus resources and provide peer encouragement and guidance without adding to the instructor's workload. Students enrolled in FYSM sections with an FYE Guide experienced higher success rates than those of students in sections without an FYE Guide over a three-year analysis. Over the past two years, students rated an average of 4.14/5 when asked if it was beneficial to have an FYE Guide in their FYS 100 course.
