Role Models

We make sure freshmen can look up to us and feel comfortable being themselves around us. Our wide variety of athletes, high academic achieving students and club members and even officers are great leaders.

Tutors

 Making sure freshmen keep up with their academic goals is a guideline for FMPs. Grades come first. We help our freshmen with study tips and what we remember from taking freshmen year classes to eliminate I's and E's.

Friends

Building strong relationships with freshmen and making sure we're seen as equals and never superior to them is essential. We are their friends, not teachers!

Student Leaders

Serve as the chief representative of the program, runs monthly meetings, meets with faculty coordinators regularly, promotes positive relationships between the program’s members and the school community, and helps the program maintain a solid, positive reputation. They will also serve as a daily supervisor.
