Who Will Be There?
All incoming first-year students and transfer students with less than 30 credit hours are required to attend First Year Ignite. In addition to the over 300 first year and transfer students, you will also meet an outstanding group of student leaders who will serve as Ignite Leaders.
You will be part of a small group of students which will be led by an Ignite Leader. Together, you will share in the experience of team-building, learning how to get involved at LTU, and develop leadership skills within you! During the two days, you will also be able to interact with University administrators and alumni that work with students here at LTU!
First Year Ignite is mandatory for all incoming students at LTU.
Students will be exposed to a variety of topics during First Year Ignite!
First Year Ignite is Thursday August 21st, 2025 and Friday August 22nd, 2025.
