fyi FIRST-YEAR INFORMATION FOR FALL 2018 CLASS OF 2022
Welcome,
You are now a Brit! Student Affairs staff know you will be successful
at Albion, and that your success begins with our First-Year
Information Fall Orientation program, or FYI.
This brochure explains what you’ll be doing during FYI and your
first three days on campus. As a first-year student, this weekend is
designed to assist you in your transition to college and Albion. Albion
is a special place, and the FYI program will orient and acclimate you
to your new home and what Albion expects of you.
As you go through FYI, please take time to imagine all the
possibilities that await you. How will you and your new friends at
Albion make a difference? As the Class of 2022, you stand poised to
make a real and positive impact in one another’s lives, the College,
and the City of Albion. Go for it! Faculty, staff, and returning students
welcome your challenge to grow, learn, and improve along with you.
See you around campus!
