Thirty incoming Arkansas Tech University students got a head start on their college experience by participating in the ATU Freshman Leadership Experience before the beginning of the fall 2018 semester.
According to the ATU Department of Campus Life, the Freshman Leadership Experience allows incoming students to “engage with other incoming freshmen while learning from current campus leaders, university staff and other leadership experts” in a manner that will “help students make connections prior to the first day of class, establish a leadership and involvement plan for the first year and learn from some of the best and brightest campus leaders.”
