CSM101
NeST oversees all programs related to orienting new students to campus. These events include Launch, Oredigger Camp, Transfer Orientation, Spring Orientation and Fall Kick Off. Each of our programs serve both first-year and transfer students and are meant to answer questions, provide resources and welcome our new students into the Mines community.
CSM101 is a seminar course required of all first-year students. CSM101 prepares them for a successful transition to academic life at Mines, as well as providing social and cultural competencies for a diverse world. Lessons range from study skills and faculty connections to communication and personal wellness. This course promotes student awareness of university resources, best practices and policies. CSM101 is co-taught by members of faculty and administration, and a pair of upper-class student Peer Mentors.
