FYI:  First-Year Information - Class of 2012
Weekend Schedule
August 22 - 25, 2008

Welcome to Albion College! As your dean of students, I want to let you know that you will be successful at Albion and that your success begins with our First-Year Information program or FYI.

This site explains what you'll be doing during FYI and your first three days on campus. As a new student, whether you are a first-year or transfer student, you will begin to be totally immersed in college life. Albion is a special place, and the FYI program will orient and acclimate you to your new home and what Albion expects of you.

As you go through FYI, please take time to imagine all the possibilities that await you. How will you and your friends at Albion make a difference? As the Class of 2012, you stand poised to make a real and positive difference in one another's lives, the College, and the City of Albion. Go for it! Faculty, Staff, and Returning students welcome your challenge to grow, learn, and improve along with you.

See you around Campus!

    Dr. Sally Walker
    Vice President for Student Affairs
    Dean of Students
