In this episode, we highlight two key first-year experiences at the University of Oregon. Amy Hughes Giard from the First-Year Programs Office joins us to break down First-Year Interest Groups (FIGs), including benefits, timelines, and June registration. We also talk with Jessica Winders about Academic Residential Communities (ARCs), covering how they support first-year students and what to expect from the application and selection process.
