Featured FIG Theme: Science and Society

Science and Society

Joining a First-Year Interest Group (FIG) during fall term is one of the easiest ways to transition to college while staying on track to graduate on time. The philosophy of the FIG program is to help students build an academic home comprised of other first-year students with similar interests, an upper classman peer mentor (FIG Assistant), and a faculty mentor who help the students make connections all across campus.

Each FIG is a unique package of classes organized around an academic theme. To make finding the right FIG for you easier, we place our FIGs into broader categories to help you explore your options.

FIGs in the Science and Society category solve problems and make an impact on the world through science. By selecting a FIG in this category, you will have the opportunity to experiment in the fields of science and technology by building web coding and business skills, develop your own story through interactive maps, and you may also get a chance to begin conducting your own scientific research as part of a FIG project!

The FIGs in the Science and Society theme are:
