Slide 5
At UCLA, the goal of our freshman seminars is to encourage first-year students to explore and discover; each seminar is designed to motivate open and lively discussion among the participants.

Our goal for senior seminars is to motivate advanced students to integrate and reflect on concepts learned; each seminar is designed to encourage critical discussion among the participants.

Both programs provide important experiences at critical stages for our students.  Today, I want to focus on Freshman Seminars.
