Your Go-To-Raider will be there to help you understand campus culture, plan your fall course schedule, and navigate any challenges you may encounter along the way. Whether you prefer communicating through email, phone calls, or even texts, your Go-To-Raider will support you.

They will also continue to contact you throughout the summer and into the fall semester to ensure you have a smooth transition to campus life and feel confident and prepared.

Mount Union’s Integrative Core Program, a portion of the general education, creates a space to find your passion(s) while developing marketable skills and staying on track to graduate.
