Campus Life

The Senior Year Residential Experience (SYRE) will be housed in Foundation Hall beginning in the Spring of 2010, however the programmatic aspects will begin in Fall of 2009 for all seniors (and juniors too!) at Wagner College.  This program, the result of a collaboration between Residential Education, the Dean of Campus Life Office, the Center for Academic and Career Development, and the Office of Alumni Relations, will offer events for seniors to support them as they transition into a career or graduate program.

Students participating in the Senior Year Residential Experience will...

• Understand the job search and graduate admissions processes, specifically the development of a resume, interviewing skills, networking skills, professional etiquette, and negotiation skills
• Develop a post-graduation plan regarding a job, job alternative, or graduate school
• Gain life skills such as managing personal finances, cooking, and securing an apartment
• Balance the senior year workload and experiential learning or thesis while planning for the future
• Establish and maintain relationships with members of the Wagner College alumni network
• Reflect on past experiences at Wagner as the final component of the Wagner Plan

A series of events have already been planned for the SYRE program for the 2009-2010 academic year.  The schedule is below.  Please note that the Thesis Writing Group and the Test Prep Group will meet concurrently at 7 PM each Sunday of the academic year to support students engaged in those processes.  Meeting locations will be announced shortly.
