Free Food, Fun, and the First-Year Experience

[Kathryn Jiang]

Dear undergrads,

Still looking for something to do this IAP? Help us imagine a new
first-year experience at MIT in Designing the First-Year Experience:
Fun-Sized! DFY: Fun-Sized (2.s974/2.s790) is a 3-unit follow-up to the
original Designing the First-Year Experience at MIT class offered in Spring
2018.

When: IAP 2019 | 1/22-2/1

Time: 2-5 pm

Course Number: 2.s974 / 2.s790

Units: 3 (P/D/F)

Faculty: Professor Maria Yang & Vice Chancellor Ian A. Waitz

Pre-register now!
<https://registrar.mit.edu/registration-academics/pre-registration>

We welcome students who were involved with the prior class as well as
first-year students and others who were not able to participate last year.

The class will focus on exploring ideas for radical changes to the
first-year experience that could be piloted with a small group of students,
for example in a First-Year Learning Community (FLC), as well as less
dramatic changes that could be tested with the entire Class of 2023.

Check out https://ovc.mit.edu/fy_fun/ for more information.
