New Student Programs

The Office of New Student Programs is dedicated to promoting the success of new students by enhancing student engagement on campus. We are available to assist students in locating UIW resources that will lead to their academic success. New students learn to understand “you own your education,” which introduces self-responsibility and an awareness of the path to success!

February: "Ready, Set, Goals!" Cardinals learned about setting SMART goals to be successful in and out of the classroom.
