15 Seconds at a Time: First-Year Interest Groups [video]

In this video, and executive director LeAnne Wiles takes on the challenge of explaining the in less than 15 seconds at a time. 鈥15 Seconds at a Time鈥 is a series in which various Undergraduate Academic Affairs programs explain their work in bite-sized bursts.

First-year Interest Groups offer incoming first-year students the chance to take a group of classes together during their first quarter at the 天美影视传媒. This cornerstone experience for new students supports their transition to the UW, through small, intentional learning communities.
