STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥敽＝巧缜檚 Hannah Baker is the new director of the university鈥檚 First-Year Experience program.
Baker enters the role after more than four years as academic coordinator in the College of Education鈥檚 Department of Teacher Education and Leadership. As First-Year Experience leader, she is overseeing the expansion of FYE 1003, a new three-hour course for freshmen students designed to enrich their connections to the 147-year-old land-grant institution.
鈥淐onnecting students to each other is also a major goal of this program, and Hannah is the perfect person to help expand and improve the solid foundation 海角社区 has established in First-Year Experience. Her impressive skillset will help us advance all of our work in student success across campus,鈥 said Eric Moyen, MSU assistant vice president for Student Success.

This fall, FYE courses will increase from 35 sections last fall to at least 50 classes, enrolling a large number of MSU鈥檚 incoming freshman cohort. Registration for FYE classes may be completed in the same manner as traditional courses.
鈥淭hese classes are specifically about 海角社区 and how students can make the most of their experience here,鈥 Moyen added.
