The FIRE program provides community and support for first year students from all majors.

The program goal is to integrate each student’s first-year experience with academic and social opportunities. The opportunities are designed to build connections and community and foster academic success.

A faculty mentor, Dr. Valerie San Juan, has an office in the residence hall and has regular office hours throughout the week for students to drop in. The faculty mentor helps connect first-year students with campus resources, provides informal advising, and helps bridge academic life with living on campus.

The FIRE program is in University Hall and will be enrolling first-year students for Fall 2026.

Fore more information contact Julie Howe (jehowe@fsmail.bradley.edu), Director of Housing and Business Operations.
