During the second semester the staff of the First Year of Studies will continue its efforts to assist first-year students in overcoming academic difficulties. In addition, a large part of the First Year program will be devoted to aiding students in identifying the colleges they would like to enter in their sophomore year and the programs they should pursue. Much information will be given about the Notre Dame academic programs and related careers, and interest inventories will be administered. Further information will be included in the February Dean's Newsletter . If your work is selected, you will have the honor of being published in both the web version and the first print version of Fresh Writing , a journal of outstanding FYC writing.
Submission is simple.
Just print out a clean copy of your best essay from your Fall 2000 FYC course, head down to DeBartolo 012 to pick up and complete the required submission permission form, and drop your essay in the labeled box. Submissions accepted December 8-18. You will be notified sometime during the Spring semester only if your essay has been chosen for publication. This is a rare opportunity to earn a publication credit as an undergraduate. T he First Year of Studies wishes you and yours a joyous holiday season filled with the warmth of friends and loved ones, and with the promise of a happy new year.
