FOOTSTEPS Trips
FOOTSTEPS (Fall Outdoor Orientation Trips) in support of ALS112 U-Engage classes. Students meet their classmates and instructors while participating in a fun off–campus activity. These activities are the ultimate ice–breakers, through which students get to know one another and begin to build a network of friendships. FOOTSTEPS invites students to interact with peers and faculty in a way that makes them cohorts in their learning and accentuates the academic experience.
