First-Year Experience

FYE Hero Image

Engage! Enrich! Empower!

At Nassau, it's all about community: connecting with classmates, professors, clubs, sports, campus services, and other resources that will enrich your college experience. NCC's First-Year Experience (FYE) program is one of the best places to make those connections.

(FYE) Day of Service

Looking for a way to touch the world (and maybe make it a little better)?  Join members of the NCC campus community for the First Year Experience program's Day of Service.  There will be more than forty service projects taking place on the Nassau campus that day--everything from food and clothing drives to fund raisers, charitable auctions, environmental activities, and campus beautification projects.  It's a great opportunity to do something important for others.
