First Year Experience
What We DoThe First Year Experience Team understands that a student’s first year of college is a time to build, develop, and discover. We provide resources and programming to guide you on your path to success. Our year begins with Tiger Nation Family Day (TNFD), an official induction to the St. Philip’s College Tiger Family, and concludes with an End of First Year Banquet, a time for students to celebrate the completion of their first year in college and all of their accomplishments. Our next TNFD is January 11, 2025. See below for more info. First-time in college students interested in receiving one-on-one guidance and support throughout their first year can apply to be a part of the First Year Experience Program (FYE).
