The First Year Experience program is designed for all first-year, undergraduate IIT students. All students<br />

are placed into a peer mentor group; your peer mentor will be your constant communication line at IIT<br />

with you, including helping you find academic resources as well as helping you find your niche on campus.<br />

Campus Life challenges you to take part in the Freshman 15 - visit the FYE website the week before<br />

classes start each semester to identify the 15 key programs that are part <strong>of</strong> the Freshman 15. If you go to<br />

programs that make IIT as unique as it is.<br />

Finally, many departments have collaborated to provide students resources in all aspects <strong>of</strong> succeeding<br />

through IIT in our Tech101 program. These conversations with departments will be <strong>of</strong>fered periodically<br />
