First Year Experience and Second Year Experience
(FYE-SYE)
Your time at Nazareth is the ultimate opportunity to grow and discover through action and reflection.
The true measure of student success is how well you are prepared to accomplish your current and future academic, personal, and professional goals through the development of knowledge, a sense of responsibility and self-reliance, and a connection to the college and wider community.
