Johnson First Year

Fall Kickoff (August 19-21, 2022)

Fall Kickoff takes place the weekend before classes begin.

You’ll explore campus life as you talk with your academic advisor; meet student leaders; learn about public safety, student life, health resources, and more. You’ll get your first taste of college-level discussion and analysis as you participate in a small-group discussion of the year’s Common Reading book.

As you settle into your new home, be prepared for other activities that will help you feel connected to your campus and develop new friendships.

Dates, details, and more.

Creative Audience

Expand your horizons by attending a range of campus events. You’ll earn academic credit for attending fun, diverse campus programs, such as films, lectures, performances, athletics events, and art exhibits. Learn more about Creative Audience. 

First-Year Seminars

Cosmetics, songwriting, math puzzles, community-building, New Orleans culture — those are some recent topics of our First-Year Seminars. You choose which three-credit class to take from our wide-ranging, interdisciplinary mix.

In these small, collaborative classes, geared to first-year students, you’ll be with peers who share your interest. It’s a challenging but supportive environment to help you adjust to college-level academics and build bonds with your classmates.
