What to know:
No artistic experience is needed, only a willingness to participate and try new things.
FAP is fully committed to all areas of diversity, inclusion, belonging, and equity.
You may bring, but are not required to, any art tools such as instruments, dance clothes, cameras, art supplies, etc.
Dressing for FAP is simple. T-shirts, shorts, and sneakers will suffice for almost all activities.
Community:
Our 24 Upperclass Proctors have been working hard to create an active social calendar that encourages First-Years to get to know each other, many campus student arts leaders, as well as a large number of arts faculty and staff.
