The final step of a new to BSU students' orientation, or Crimson Experience, is to participate in the First Semester Roadmap Program.

The First Semester Roadmap program is multifaceted, with three major components: a Roadmap checklist of activities and other resources to complete during your first semester, a mentoring opportunity, and regular communications from the Center for Student Engagement. More information about the program is outlined below.

Questions? Please reach out the Center for Student Engagement at CSE@bridgew.edu or 508-531-1840.

The Roadmap

The First Semester Roadmap checklist has various events, resources, and other items for you to complete throughout your first semester at BSU. Completing this checklist will support your continued success throughout your time here in a variety of ways - especially when it comes to your career, social, community, and physical wellbeing.

The Academic Wellbeing Checklist will walk you through your first semester advising requirements and various resources related to your academic experience here at BSU.
