A First-year Interest Group (FIG) is a small cohort of first-year students who develop community by taking two to four classes together. Students get to know their classmates by attending a weekly seminar facilitated by a peer mentor and staff member. Students may discuss issues such as study and time management strategies and campus life and involvement opportunities. FIGs only last for the first semester.
In addition to the generally outlined activities, major-focused COMM FIGs will allow students to chose FIGs that focus on a specific major. We strongly encourage you to choose a FIG which includes a course in your intended major so that you can make the most informed decision about your future in the College of Communication. You will receive more information about the FIG program at Orientation.
We will cover more about FIGs at each Orientation session. When you meet with your Academic Advisor they will help you decide it the FIG program is right for you.
