First-year students get a jump start on their college career



Many first-year students came to Sacred Heart University a week early to
participate in pre-fall programs. Each of the 11 unique programs offered
enriching experiences to freshmen before their semester officially began.

Programs included Behind the Curtain, for freshmen passionate about theater;
Community Connections, an Office of Volunteer Programs & Service Learning
initiative that allows students to immerse themselves in community service and
urban issues; Lights, Camera, Action! for students looking to study
communications and media arts; Mind Your Business, for Jack Welch College of
Business & Technology students; Start Strong, a program run by the Student
Success Center that aims to help freshmen fully prepare for a successful first
year of college; Dance Intensive, for students enrolled in the dance program; A
Week of Wellness, which helps College of Health Professions students explore the
seven dimensions of wellness; Nursing, The Heart of Healthcare, a journey toward
success for first-year nursing students; Acclimating to Biology, a program
offered through the College of Arts & Sciences for freshmen with interests in
biology; Fashion Immersion, a camp available to incoming students interested in
fashion marketing & merchandising; and Pioneer Your Career, a program geared
toward helping new students explore the different majors and their applicable
career paths.
