FYRE has been successful in recruiting more than half of the 48 FYRE Associates needed to expand to full-implementation next year. However, we still need applications!!
FYRE is an educational, community experience for first-year students with goals of easing first-year student transitions, providing opportunities for meaningful interactions with peers/faculty/staff, and supporting academic success through connection to the ICC themes. To accomplish this, FYRE depends on both Resident Assistants and FYRE Associates to serve as resources during first-year students’ transition to IC. The core role of the FYRE Associate role is to (1) develop connections with students through small group interactions, (2) plan six engaging [ICC] Theme Programs a year and, (3) partner with Residential Life staff (RAs) to facilitate these Theme Programs with students.
