The University of Alabama recently announced the freshman students who make up the 2022-23 Freshman Forum cohort. These students will be continuing the tradition of more than 60 years of leadership growth for University of Alabama Freshmen.

First Year Experience and Retention Initiatives (FYE) is an area of the Division of Student Life committed to supporting the academic and social transition of first-year students to The University of Alabama. First-year students are defined as any undergraduate student attending UA for the first time.

FYE seeks to help students understand expectations associated with being a member of the Capstone and educate first-year students about various support services on campus. FYE provides support, resources, and programs for freshman and transfer students as they build the foundation of their Capstone experience.
