First Year Center Brochure

Visit the First-Year Center of UWM's Student Success Center


Located in Bolton 120, the First-Year Center is the one stop where you can find all the information about valuable resources on campus. The mission of the First-Year Center is to provide quality comprehensive services to new freshmen and transfer students enrolled at UWM.


The First Year Center is also home base to the Campus Ambassadors/Mentors who, during the academic year, will reconvene their orientation groups, meet one-on-one and maintain communication with their first-year students, and assist in the development of targeted first-year programming. Meet the 2009-2010 UWM First-Year Center Campus Ambassadors/Mentors.


Be sure to see FYI from the FYC, to get a glimpse of students' insights to UWM, written by students (Campus Ambassadors/Mentors) here at UWM. There are many on-line resources available to students at UWM. For example, a Virtual Reference Desk can be found here as can various writing resources, study tips, stress relief strategies, tools for good living, etc. Be sure to check out these helpful web sites. The divisions of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, in conjunction with the ACN, have compiled a list of classroom presentations regarding campus resources, student academic development and student personal development entitled the University 101 Menu. All of these presentations can be tailored to fit the specific needs of your classroom and students. If you are interested in scheduling any of the presentations, please contact the scheduling person as indicated in the presentation description. If you have any general questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ericca Rolland, Director of the First Year Center, at pollacke@uwm.edu or 229-6760.
