SOAR Team Leaders - First Year Experience


First Year Experience

SOAR Team Leaders

Team Leaders are current students who have been selected and trained to give you the best possible introduction to UW-Superior.  Although UWS is the kind of place that you have to experience for yourself, these fellow students will assist you in navigating the early days when everything is new and unfamiliar.  Throughout the SOAR programs, each Team Leader meets frequently with the group assigned to them to answer questions and serve as a resource for you.

As the First Year Experience Team, we are dedicated to making your transition to UW-Superior as smooth as possible.  We are available to offer guidance and answer questions at any time.
