    First Year Experience (FYE) Project – Systems Coordination & Early MomentumThe First Year Experience Project directly supports campus-wide goals around early academic momentum, onboarding, and persistence. By convening partners across Admissions, New Student Programs, Student Life, colleges, and academic units, this project addresses a core AVP responsibility: reducing fragmentation in the student experience. The focus on coordinated communications and “relentless onboarding” reflects the Student Success Initiative’s emphasis on early belonging and clarity of expectations. This work generates practical infrastructure—shared messaging frameworks, transition tools, and handoff protocols, that can be scaled beyond CSP to improve first- and second-year success university-wide
