To help you make this next big transition in your life from high school to college, Albion has designed the William Atwell Brown, Jr., and Mary Brown Vacin First-Year Experience (FYE). It's a program that focuses solely on you and your needs as a new student. It will provide support and encouragement from your first day of orientation to the final day of your first year. And, in fact, its benefits will surface many times throughout your four years.

The FYE program will enable you to make a smooth and positive transition to Albion College. Through the program you will be introduced to the liberal arts tradition and the rigors of academic excellence. The FYE program will help you establish habits of mind and patterns of decision-making that will ensure achieving optimal success throughout your four years here. We think you'll find the First-Year Experience will meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.
