FYE Fridays 🪩

First Year Experience is your starting point at UA and part of that process is meeting other first-year students, as well as staff dedicated to supporting you in your first year at UA! FYE Fridays is one of our many opportunities for you to connect with others while getting involved in First Year Experience! Check out the schedule below to learn more.

FYE Friday Events are the third Friday of each month in 300 Russell Hall from 12-2 PM. Join us to meet new students, enjoy FREE food and discover community on campus!
