The purpose of a First Year Development Program's Group Leader is to foster a relationship with FYDP students who will promote their academic and social success at the College of St. Scholastica. Group Leaders are upperclass students interviewed and selected to mentor up to six first year students in the FYDP program. They are trained in the spring semester prior to the start of the next academic year, and participate in the planning and implementation of Academic Orientation, which is held the week before fall semester begins.
