Our Mission

Sense of Place is an event put on by First-Year Experience every semester in an attempt to connect students with the Chico State campus and community. Students are given the opportunity to present their semester-long research project to an audience of peers and community members who can further engage them with their topic. Sense of Place is a safe space for students to garner new skills to aid in their personal and professional growth. We aim to introduce first-year students to the many resources offered by clubs and organizations at Chico State and in the surrounding community to further their sense of belonging.
