 "I love Freshman Experience week and hope that when my children enter college similar programs will be available for them. This week helps everyone transition from high school, junior colleges and other universities into Faulkner university. It's a lot of work but I keep returning because we have so much fun!" Dr. Cindy Walker, Director of Freshman Experience |
 "I like to remember my freshman experience class many years ago. I knew no one, and was about 1500 miles from home. By the end of the week I had, if not deep friendships, at least good acquaintances and was ready to start school. If we can accomplish that and sneak in some study/survival skills, we have had a great week!"

 "I believe Freshman Experience is a wonderful opportunity for new students to get adjusted to college life and most importantly they get to know other new students before classes ever begin. Many great friendships are developed at Freshman Experience." Michelle Bond, Counseling Center |
 "As I reflect on college for my three boys and their first days at their respective Universities, I realize how essential the first few days of experience are. It is essential that students make a positive contact whether it is another student or a person on the faculty or staff. It may be the only time that students are informed about the major differences between high school and university life in and out of the classroom. It is a time where I can truly exhibit what I wish to be to our student, a servant." Dr. Joy Lucas, |
 "Freshman Experience is a great place for a student to establish a strong foundation to build upon and have a great college experience. It helps the new students make friends and values that will last a lifetime." Andrew R. Jacobs, Assistant Professor of English |
 "Freshman Experience gives students a somewhat relaxed opportunity to transition to college life. It is personally rewarding to be part of that experience, and to be able to see students experience a week which begins a new chapter of their lives. In my view, students are better equipped to begin college because of Freshman Experience through such activities as the needs and abilities assessments surveys, the study tools given in presentations throughout the week, and the friendships which have developed from our week together."

 "I teach during Freshmen Experience because I want to help our new students adjust to this major change in their life.

 "Freshman Experience is an exciting time. I love getting to know the new students and kicking off the school year with a bang." Jason South, Instructor of Speech and Theater |
 "I enjoy teaching in the freshman experience program because I like to meet and get to know the new students and encourage them to get involved quickly in the educational opportunities available here at Faulkner. Unfortunately, many incoming freshman don’t know what to expect from college life and getting off to a good start in the classroom is extremely important and I want to do everything I can to get these new students off on the right foot."

 "Freshman Experience encourages students to manage their own college careers and college life with the tools they are taught in FE classes. It is especially enjoyable for me to see students when they realize that their future is up to them. I teach it every year for the students." Dr. Dixie Hicks, Professor of History |
 "Freshman Experience allows students to get to know one another and learn some skills needed for college, but more importantly to me, they get to know faculty and we get to know them."

 "With our emphasis on service at Faulkner University, this is one of the best ways to say who we really are. I really enjoy working all week long helping orient new students to Faulkner." Dr. Robert Woods, Great Books Professor |
