LAS 101 Freshman Advisory Council

A group photo of the LAS 101 Freshman Advisory CouncilThe LAS 101 Freshman Advisory Council is a group of first-year students who have just completed the LAS 101 course. They help us redesign the course each year to make it even better for the next year’s cohort of incoming students. With their help and creativity, LAS 101 has become a favorite course for our first-term students. You can join the council in the spring of your first year. Your LAS 101 intern will tell you how.
