First-Year Experience - Thrive

THRIVE

51°µÍø College's first-year student experience is designed to empower and support students, and to make them feel right at home on campus.

First-Year Experience - Thrive 2

Empowered & Supported

All first-year students enroll into THRIVE, 51°µÍø's first-year college transition and life skills course.

The THRIVE Program is a 10-week PE-credit-bearing course that assists the first-year class in getting to know the community, their peers, and themselves while also helping build their personal tool kits for success with academic, communal, and social resources and strategies.

Through THRIVE, 51°µÍø students are better connected to campus staff, upperclass students, and the resources that they will need throughout their 51°µÍø careers.

THRIVE is launching two new Living and Learning Communities (THRIVE LLC) this fall! 

The THRIVE LLC is a dynamic residential experience grounded in the Eight Dimensions of Wellness and is designed to complement the THRIVE first year experience course. The community will offer co-curricular programming that brings classroom concepts to life through hands-on learning, reflection, and connection. Highlights include a transformative retreat in Philadelphia and ongoing events that empower students to explore wellness in a holistic, sustainable way—both individually and as a community.

Applications to be part of the inaugural THRIVE LLC Community will be available early June.
