The transition from college to the world of work is an exciting time. The Senior Year Experience (SYE) offers a coordinated effort to meet the transition issues seniors face as they move beyond college. During the program, college students learn how to become independent, problem-solve, and learn more about themselves and the people around them. This site provides resources for the program and senior transition.
