FIRST Connections is an overnight orientation experience at the School of Mines. Students stay in Peterson Hall with either their roommate (if they attend the same session) or with other students from their floor/building.  Activities and games are planned to help students get to know one another - as well as learn more about campus and living in the dorms.  The following day, students (and parents) take part in more detailed sessions about how to succeed as a first year student at the School of Mines - meeting faculty, staff and and more!

FIRST Connections is offered June 13-14 and 27-28, 2010.  Check-ins begin at 1:00pm on the Sunday and sessions conclude at about 1:00pm the following day.

SCHEDULE:
June 13-14 or June 27-28

  Why Get Connected?

  Don't take our word...hear what Connections  
  participants have to say!

"The most memorable part of FIRST Connections was just getting to know some of the incoming freshmen before actually starting school. Everything goes so fast when you first start school it's hard to get socially acclimated sometimes."

"I liked getting to meet new people. I'm much less nervous about moving in this fall."

"Being able to meet my roommates was the best part."

"Late night conversations . . . that was the best part."
