First Year Experience

Making a smooth transition into college life is an important step toward achieving success. Murray State will help you get started on the right path through the First Year Experience (FYE) Program. FYE promotes your success by developing programs, services, courses and activities to assist you during your first year at Murray State. FYE helps develop "people networks" that communicate first year students' needs to the university community. Through its programs and activities, FYE assures that the university is responsive to the needs of students just entering college life. FYE's goal is student success and satisfaction at Murray State University.

FYE is involved in many different kinds of activities, including:
- coordinating the academic advising program for pre-baccalaureate students
- designing, developing and delivering the FYE 098 classes
- helping develop the curriculum for other 099 classes across campus
- creating and presenting training programs for FYE 098 and other 099 class instructors
- facilitating the Academic Review Committee's work with first year students who do not achieve a 2.00 GPA their first semester
- acting as an advocate for all first year students

The FYE Program, a part of Student Affairs, is coordinated by Paul Naberezny, who is located in Room 204 of Ordway Hall (270) 762-6860.
