The First Year Experience (FYE) program at Huston-Tillotson University is designed to assist students in making a successful transition to HT and university life in general. The program begins with the new student orientation process, consisting of various activities that help acclimate the students to campus and socialize with their peers. During the orientation process each student is assigned a returning student as a Peer Advisor, who serves as the new student’s “mentor” during his or her first year.
