Finding Your Centre
All first-year students enroll in a Finding Your Centre (FYC) course during the fall term. This course provides students with information about how to succeed academically at Centre. FYC includes peer mentors comprised of returning students who help incoming first-year students adapt to the challenges that their first year of college might bring.
Overview
In FYC, first-year students will develop close working relationships with their professors and classmates while experiencing the personalized education that is a major part of the Centre experience. You will be introduced to the academic, co-curricular and community resources available at Centre to help ensure your academic success.
Curriculum
Finding Your Centre has four primary goals:
- Provide a personal group learning situation where you engage with other students and faculty in an intensive intellectual experience.
- Introduce and practice the concepts of time management, critical thinking, and effective communication (oral and written) and their role in academic success.
- Facilitate the transition to college, connection to resources and design of a Centre experience that best fits your aspirations.
- Introduce the notion of understanding your role as a global citizen in today's diverse and ever changing world.
