Freshman F.I.T. Pre-Orientation
F.I.T. Class of 2012
August 23-26th, 2008
Pre-Orientation for Fitness & Individual Development at Tufts University
Freshmen entering Tufts University experience anxiety and uncertainty
about moving away from home and making the adjustment to college.
Excelling in the classroom is every student’s goal but there is so
much more available to students who want to lead a balanced life at
Tufts. The goal of F.I.T. is to introduce and educate students about
wellness opportunities that are available to them in leading
empowering lifestyles as undergraduates. The Department of Athletics
and Physical Education has developed this unique pre-orientation
program to introduce freshmen to fitness, wellness and nutritional
programs offered at Tufts. Peer leaders and departmental staff will
guide students through a non-competitive, active, but fun
environment over 4 days prior to orientation.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
Students interested in learning about exercise, nutrition, how to
balance school, work, social life, athletics, clubs and extra
curricular activities. Opportunities to meet with peer leaders who
will assist freshmen F.I.T. participants with transition to Tufts.
