Valdosta State University

Hey. My name is Deacon Hudson and I plan on graduating with a bachelor's degree in Recreation and going on to manage the land department on Lake Oconee. I really like Valdosta State University, mostly because of the palm trees. Also, I have a lot of friends here. I am currently an active member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and VSU, Ducks Unlimited.

The Freshman Year Experience Program

Your freshman year experience at Valdosta State University is critical in laying the groundwork for a successful academic and professional career. Employers view a well rounded successful academic career as evidence that students can be equally successful and productive in their chosen fields. Success begins by mastering the three principal tasks of the first year student:

Academic Skills Development
Adjusting to College Life
Developing Academic & Career Goals

VSU’s Freshman Year Experience (FYE) is an outstanding student development program that assists first-year students in accomplishing these tasks. The program is designed primarily for students who have not yet decided on an academic major.

In my opinion, the Freshman Year Experience program is great and I would definitely recommend it to incoming freshmen after being active in it myself. This program helps students so much whether it is providing them with good classes, teaching them how to give back to the community, or just help them to meet new people.
