Why do you think FYS 101 courses are important? FYS 101 courses help incoming students form connections with others, and provide substantial advice to help make one's freshman year an easy transition into college; by setting a foundation for their success in years to come.

Give your best piece of advice for first-year students: Make sure that you become inVOLved with at least one club/organization on campus. The University of Tennessee has over 500 different clubs/organizations, and if you can't find one that intrigues your interests; you can form your own! When you get involved, you are prone to enjoy college significantly more and make friendships that will last a lifetime!
