First-Year Leader Program
The First-Year Leader (FYL) Program empowers new UT Dallas students to succeed by connecting them with a large, dynamic team of highly trained peer educators.
These leaders help first-semester students navigate college life, build key academic skills, access campus resources, connect with faculty and staff, and form meaningful relationships that foster a strong sense of belonging on campus.
