The First Year Community Engagement Cohort provides incoming first-year and transfer students opportunities to participate in weekly community engagement opportunities, education & reflection, and community building in an effort to determine their own purpose and direction in becoming leaders and active citizens! The cohort meets weekly from January through April. We invite any first-year and transfer students to apply, no previous experience necessary - just an interest in working towards positive social change!
There are weekly cohort gatherings throughout the semester on Friday's from 3-4:30p in the Asubuhi Lounge in West Quad. These gatherings are where learning, personal growth, and connection to your fellow wolverines happens.
Weekly gathering dates: 1/13, 1/20, 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17, 3/3, 3/10, 3/17, 3/24, 3/31, 4/7, 4/14
