First Year Check-ins are events where Black identifying first year students can connect with each other, discuss transition to university, experiences had thus far, destress and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. These transitional year events are designed to support resource navigation.
First Year Check-ins are part of the ‘Black Flourishing and Placemaking at UTM’ initiative funded by APUF.
