• "Provide a shared intellectual experience for first-year students."
• "Create a sense of community."
• "Encourage critical reading."
• "Introduce new students to academic expectations."
• "Create dialogue between students, faculty, staff, and the community."
• "Offer an entrance into the world of academic research, scholarship, creativity, and inquiry that defines a residential research university."
• "Expose students to issues relevant in today’s global society."
