Common Experience helps Jaguars explore a variety of topics, meet new people, and get involved — right from their first year! Each academic year, the Office of First-Year Experience selects a theme that will be used as the inspiration for our events and initiatives. The goal of our events is to build community within our student body as well as encourage learning and professional development.
