The First Year Experience

We're Here To Help You Succeed.

Beginning with Orientation and throughout the first year, the Success Team will ensure that first-year students have every opportunity to succeed. First-year students will have an academic advisor dedicated to class selection, which will happen during Orientation. Welcome Week provides an opportunity to meet peers and your TWU 101 instructors, and to access important resources. Plus, Success Coaches will provide specialized sessions to support freshman student needs. We can’t wait for you to begin your journey at TWU!

First-year Experience

The TWU 101 course, taken during a student’s first semester at TWU, is designed to help first-year students adjust to college life and be successful at TWU. This course gives students the tools to succeed, supports personal growth, and helps them feel comfortable at TWU.

The TWU 101 class provides practical advice on note-taking, reading, and time management; opportunities for personal wellness and reflection; and a place to connect with peers and learn the ins and outs of life at TWU.  Throughout the first semester, students will connect the liberal arts education they receive at Tennessee Wesleyan University to their future careers.

TWU Peer Mentors

Each TWU 101 class has a Peer Mentor dedicated to assisting new students in their transition. These fellow Bulldogs will help you communicate and answer questions, provide opportunities for engagement outside of class, and support you throughout your freshman year.

 

TWU prepares students with the transformative experience and to be well-rounded leaders who make a positive impact on the world.
