The First-Year Odyssey Seminar program showcases the rich culture of a research university.
The First-Year Odyssey Seminar program is designed for students to learn about the many resources available on campus and to become engaged in the cultural and intellectual life of the University. With this in mind, all FYO students must attend at least three campus events during the semester.
There are many events to choose from, including musical performances, films, lectures, visiting speakers, and events like the Study Away Fair, and the Student Affairs’ Involvement Fair.
