First-Year Experience
Established in the fall of 2010 as part of the Department of Student Life, the Office of the First-Year Experience is home to the Campbell University Freshman Seminar (CUFS 100). The CUFS 100 course was developed as the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) for Campbell University. Campbell University selected the Freshman Seminar as the QEP based on input from faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni after a year-long study of student needs.
