About the Freshman Year: Graduation Course
The Graduation Course is designed to help you pause, take stock, and realise just how much you’ve grown. You’ll revisit your original starting point, reflect on the challenges you’ve overcome, and celebrate the mindset and skill shifts that brought you here. This is also your chance to intentionally set new goals, express gratitude, and shape the next chapter of your journey with clarity and purpose. By completing this course, you finish your freshman year not just with knowledge, but with confidence in how to use it moving forward.
