The First Year Experience (FYE) program is for all students at Reed who are at the beginning of their transition into college or navigating the Reed campus for the first time. The program is a resource for students in their first year at Reed, including transfer students.
FYE begins during General Orientation Week, when you will meet your Orientation and Wayfinding Leader (OWL), who will guide you and a small group of other incoming students throughout the week. OWLs are fellow students who can share their insights about life at Reed and provide guidance about things they wish they had known during their first year. They will also help introduce you to key resources and strategies for thriving at Reed, both academically and personally.
During the fall semester, the FYE program continues with transition topics through a series of workshops and social gatherings so that you can continue to expand your community at Reed and explore additional ways to get involved.
