Meet the FYE Staff

"I love Hartwick because of the Office of First-Year Experience and the nursing majors!" Julie Opdyke, First-Year Student

On behalf of the faculty and staff at Hartwick College, we would like to congratulate and welcome you to the campus community. Your academic and personal accomplishments are to be applauded!

As a new student at Hartwick, we hope that you will accept responsibility of community membership as you pursue your academic and personal aspirations. The First Year Experience (FYE) program uses a student-centered approach to foster learning and success inside and outside of the classroom, cultivating each student's self-directed learning.

We invite you to accept and embrace this new challenge as you begin your journey at Hartwick College. Ask questions, read, write, analyze, discuss and reflect. These are the first steps in fostering your intellectual and personal creativity!

Again, congratulations on all that you have achieved thus far. We look forward to meeting you.
