In the year in 1991, Beloit College started the First-Year Initiatives (FYI) Seminars with the end goal to provide the incoming first year students to learn how to be students of the liberal arts education and also how to be a successful student at Beloit.

Throughout all of the field trips we have made a class, I now understand that every one of the extracurricular buildings (LAPC, OIE, Logan Museum, etc.) are here to help me with everything I can think of. The Liberal Arts in Practice Center (LAPC) can help me with funding for summer research that I might want to conduct, or even help me polish my cover letter and résumé for future jobs and to start my career later in life. It also connects me to an alumni database that will help me even further. The OIE building is more than willing help me pick a study abroad program that will help me gain credits and accomplish what I want to do with my college education and strengthen my résumé. The Logan Museum can help me conduct research without leaving campus for multiple classes that I have taken or plan to take in coming semesters.
As the end of the semester nears along with the FYI, I will take everything with me whether it be good or bad, because in the long run it will allow me to learn from the past to better my future. With my newly obtained knowledge of the college, I can be more successful due to the fact I now know more about the college and its resources available to the students. With the new found connections of people around campus such as: Dr. Pablo Toral, Dr. Bill Green, Faye Wassinger, and Lena Wright, I can now reach my full potential as a Beloit College student and practice the liberal arts
