John Jay College Of Criminal Justice | The City University of New York

The First Year Experience (FYE) team works in collaboration with many different members of the college community to develop programs and activities that help first-year students adapt to the new social and academic challenges that come with the transition into the first year of college. We work with students during the summer before they start taking classes, and throughout their first year to create an academically and personally enriching first year experience.
