Welcome to the HU Second Year Experience!
The Howard University Second Year Experience Program, SYE Mecca Made, is a university-wide initiative designed to create a community focused on the holistic success of 2nd-year students. SYE Mecca Made’s goal is to improve Howard University’s 2nd-year retention rate by:
* Engaging 2nd-year students with high impact retention practices that build their capacity for informed academic decision-making, resiliency, and achievement that support their successful transitioning from the second to third year at Howard University;
* Equipping 2nd-year students with resources and strategies necessary for academic and career success through targeted initiatives and structured programming; and
* Empowering 2nd-year students to successfully navigate their third and fourth years, complete their degrees, and be prepared for career success.
The following are events planned for the 2018 - 2019 Second Year Experience (SYE) program, organized and hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Studies!
