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!

New Student Programs Lounge - "The Landing"

Location: Student Engagement Center 3065

Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Take time to relax in between classes and meet with your New Student Peer Mentor! We have snacks, a microwave, coffee, board games and even a little library!
