At the beginning of each academic school year, we host a welcome week to help with the transition to college for our incoming freshmen fellows. This allows our returning fellows the opportunity to get to meet and talk to the new fellows. Our program understands the value of creating a family like atmosphere to ensure that all fellows feel welcomed and included at all times. Each of the cohorts also create an event that is specifically for their cohort and the new fellows so they can get to know one another. There are a variety of events that cohorts come up with such as going to dinner, going to see a movie at Coastal's movie theater, game night in the TEACH community, and various other fun events.
