Important Information about Freshman Forum

Freshman Forum meets every Tuesday at 5:00 PM unless there is a Holiday. If you have class during this time, we encourage you not to apply to allow others who don't have a class during this time to be selected.

The yearly membership fee for Freshman Forum is $100.00. There may be an additional fee added to attend the retreat in the fall to help pay for activities on the retreat.
