We establish the necessary understanding of their collegiate experience needed to be successful within the Schreiner Learning Eco System.

The Focus

To provide opportunities for students to create relationships that allow them to grow as an individual through meaningful experiences that connect them to the university in their own unique ways.

The How

Integrate first year students into the university using proven best practices of engagement, responsibility, and academics that establishes an opportunity for students to be empowered in their collegiate experience as a responsible member of the Schreiner community.

The Focus Forward First year experience is built on the foundation of three pillars, academic focus, university engagement, and personal responsibility. As with all things there is overlap, this overlap strengthens the student’s connection to the campus and provides them with a successful experience. As an institution of higher education Schreiner University provides a service dedicated to the individual growth of each student by providing the opportunity to be successful.
