INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY IS AT THE HEART OF FIRST-YEAR STUDIES
Be part of a powerful intellectual tradition where you'll collaborate with a small group of peers to grow as a writer, speaker, reader, and thinker. From scientific charts to novels to art and music, you'll learn to think deeply, ask questions, and stretch your thinking. Discover current FYS works at lawrence.edu/firstyearstudies.
