The Office of First-Year and Transfer Programs (FYTP) has announced that 鶹ƵWelcome 2015 has gone mobile. This year, students and families can download the 鶹ƵUniversity Guidebook app on their smart phones or tablets and access the 鶹ƵWelcome 2015 Guide. The guide provides users with the ability to personalize schedules, to create individualized to-do lists, browse campus maps and receive important reminders about arriving to campus.
In collaboration with Enrollment Management and several campus departments, FYTP identified a need for incoming students to create a personalized experience from their matriculation through their first six weeks of classes. “Having 鶹ƵWelcome 2015 orientation information available through our new app will make it easy for students to access information and manage their schedule as they navigate their first few days on campus,” notes Carrie Grogan Abbott, director of FYTP.
With the 鶹ƵWelcome 2015 Guide, users can view events happening on campus, access the New Student Checklist, meet student Orientation Leaders, view a campus directory, learn 鶹ƵUniversity facts and more.
“The app offers a number of great features, so we encourage our colleagues across campus to not only share this important resource with new students and their families, but to also download the app for their own use,” says Abbott.
