Supporting the NevadaFIT Program
Beginning the journey for a college degree can be a daunting task. Moving out from childhood homes, meeting new people and taking on fresh responsibilities are a lot to handle for college freshmen. That’s why we’ve partnered with the University’s NevadaFIT program to give incoming freshmen the foundations they need to be successful students.
NevadaFIT is a one-credit, academic program for first-year students designed to help ease the transition from high school to college. The NevadaFIT program brings more than 3,500 new students and about 500 student mentors to campus the week before the fall semester begins. Students attend one of eleven college-based camps and participate in a collaborative learning experience by pairing with an undergraduate mentor in their selected major and moving into a study group known as a “Pack.” Students also meet and engage with faculty, staff, and fellow students in their academic major. They develop important relationships and friendships that can serve as ongoing support throughout their time at the university.
Since its inception, NevadaFIT has helped increase the University’s average one-year retention rate by 7 – 10%.
