Michael Gentry

"The first year program is an excellent way for new students to not only learn about the campus and all it has to offer, but also meet a group of friends and an upperclassman mentor. It really is a great way to be introduced to DePauw's campus and community."

"At the base, students attend college to learn and grow. But it’s misunderstood that learning can only take place in the classroom. There are so many hidden and awesome opportunities while you are in college and the depauw.year1 program teaches you how to find them."

Katie Rappaport

"The DePauw.year1 program provides first-years with the tools to shape their college experience. From the first time students arrive on campus they are welcomed into a community which not only shows them what the college experience is all about, it enables them to establish the building blocks in their DePauw future. We are there with students to experience their successes, help them during hardships and establish long lasting friendships."
