Students are adjusting to life at St. Olaf and navigating their new surroundings, relationships, culture, and academic expectations. They are exploring new resources and opportunities.

Students are gaining experience in their major disciplines and vocational opportunities, developing leadership skills, and expanding their network. They are reflecting on these experiences and considering their future direction.

Students are refining their academic interests, participating in co-curricular activities, exploring high-impact opportunities, and by Spring, declaring a major. They are thinking more deeply about their identity and purpose.

Students are building connections between academic and applied experiences in consultation with their support network. They are continuing to nurture their values, interests, and strengths, as they identify what comes next to live their life on purpose.
