First Year Journey 2023 Student Testimonials

First Year Journeys or FYJ's are a unique pre-orientation program available to incoming Bulldogs. FYJ’ers arrive a week before orientation, meet the other participants and leaders on their trip, then depart campus for a multi-day adventure. Itineraries may include everything from extended forays into the wilderness, to getting your hands dirty in community urban gardens. Many trips have camping-style accommodations, although at least one will have opportunities to sleep in a bed every night.While adventuring outside is the setting for FYJ – the core mission is to promote connection, community and your transition into the University. You’ll walk away with unique, shared experiences with your peers, and new companions to share your college!Join an FYJ today: https://www.redlands.edu/student-life/recreation/outdoor-programs/first-year-journeys/
