First Year Interest Groups (FIGs)
What is a FIG?
Belonging to a First-Year Interest Group (FIG) is a great way for first-time students to meet other students as well as develop strong relationships with upper-class students and many faculty members.
Students who are in a FIG take two or three courses together each semester that fulfill some major requirements or some general education requirements to help ensure they are building a strong educational foundation. The FIG program is a year-long initiative that creates a strong community for freshmen both in the classroom and in the residence halls.
There is a FIG wing in Coronado Hall that will be exclusively for these students and the upper-class mentors that work with the students.
Each FIG is based on an interest that the students share (i.e. Art, Music, Theatre, Psychology, Community Service, and many more) and is led by a student who has been at ASC for at least one year and can help students with any questions or concerns that arise in the first year of college.
