First-Year Odyssey proposals due May 14

The First-Year Odyssey Seminar (FYO) program is about 40 seminars shy of where we would like to be for fall 2021. Therefore, we have extended the deadline to submit proposals for this fall to Friday, May 14. The expectation is that every seminar will be taught face-to-face, so please factor this into your decision to submit a proposal.

To submit a proposal, please log into the FYO program website. From the task list, select either “propose a new seminar” or “propose a previously approved seminar.” If you choose “propose a previously approved seminar,” a list of all the seminars you have taught in the past will be displayed. When you have made a selection from the list of seminars, you will then have two new options:

• Option 1: You can edit some or all parts of the seminar (title, description, instructor information, etc.). We encourage you to do this to ensure your information is fresh and to give students a sense of how engaging your seminar will be.
• Option 2: You can submit the previously taught seminar without any changes.

You can check the status of your proposal at any time by clicking on “browse proposals” on the right-hand menu of the FYO faculty page. For information about the program, including the purpose, goals, and faculty resources, please visit the FYO website.

Please email the FYO team or call 706-542-6358 if you have any questions or need assistance with the proposal form.
