Our Seats
Five pillars, five real problems freshmen keep running into, and what we commit to doing about each one.
Showing up before we speak up.
The problem
Freshmen are asked what they need in September and never hear back. Concerns get collected, then disappear.
Our promise
We actively listen to freshmen, log what we hear, and take action on it. Service means being present and committed to representing our class — not just showing up at election season.
Every student has a seat at the table.
The problem
Opportunities get announced during class blocks, at 8pm meetings, or only inside friend groups that already know.
Our promise
We consider students with different schedules, backgrounds, and responsibilities so opportunities inside and outside the School of Business aren't limited to whoever happened to be in the room.
Cut the Howard Runaround.
The problem
You get sent from advising to the registrar to financial aid and back, and nobody tells you which form or which person actually solves it.
Our promise
We put deadlines, resources, organizations, internships, tutoring, events, and the faculty who can actually help in one clear place, with consistent communication to every School of Business freshman.
You see the work, not just the promises.
The problem
Student government often feels like a suggestion box: you submit something and never learn what happened.
Our promise
We publish what students raised, what we're working on, what can realistically be accomplished, and what progress has been made — in Seats in Action.
Ready beyond the classroom.
The problem
Freshman year gets treated as survival mode, so professional and social growth waits until sophomore year — or later.
Our promise
We help freshmen succeed academically, professionally, and socially by connecting them to the resources, people, and experiences that let them move forward confidently after year one.
