We Are CFYE
The Center for the First-Year Experience (CFYE) helps incoming students adjust to life at UW–Madison, while educating faculty and staff on ways to connect with first-year students.
Our mission at the Center for the First-Year Experience is to understand and improve a student’s first year at UW–Madison. We are the campus leader and primary resource on the subject of student transition to UW–Madison. CFYE supports students in self-reflection and active learning inside and outside of the classroom as they create the foundation for their Wisconsin Experience. We facilitate this process through a long-term inclusive strategy of intentional programming, on-going services, communication, and collaboration with faculty and staff.
The Center for the First-Year Experience is supported by the New Student Fee, which appears on the Tuition and Fees bill for undergraduates. In addition, CFYE works closely with a number of departments, community groups, and businesses which provide sponsorship for aspects of our efforts. If you would like to provide sponsorship, please contact us via email.
