The Residential FIG program builds upon the strength of the Freshman Interest Group (FIG) program by providing students with a unique first year living-learning experience. This year the Residential FIG Program will contain some of the most sought after courses for incoming freshman, including Chem 142, Econ 200 and Com 201. Residential FIGs provide social and academic support to bolster success during the first year at UW. Additionally, each FIG has a Residential FIG leader who is an advanced undergraduate student available to help form study groups, assist with registration, provide advising services and direct you to campus resources. We sit down with this year’s Residential FIG leaders, Marisa Hoge, Ben Drum, and Alex King.
