The Office of Student and Family Transitions

The UNK Office of Student and Family Transitions develops and implements a coordinated program to foster the success of all first-year students in their transition to college. Student and Family Transitions works with many academic and student departments to offer opportunities for students to learn how to take responsibility for their own education, to develop a sense of belonging to the UNK community, and develop Loper Pride.

Outside of just general support, we also provide some great programs to help you through your first year.

Blue and Gold Welcome

Blue Gold Welcome (BGW) is our way of welcoming new students and their families to campus in the fall. BGW activities encourage students to get to know their peers and get involved in the UNK community. Stay up to date on Blue and Gold events

Loper 2 Loper Mentoring Program

Loper2Loper is a staff/faculty to student mentor program; If you would like a staff or faculty member to guide you through your first semester here at UNK, just complete the Loper 2 Loper form and we will get you matched!

Dear First Year Podcast :A podcast for first year students

Your first year of college can be filled with ups, downs, triumphs, and difficulties. The Office of Student and Family Transitions is here to talk you through them all. We're here to discuss choosing a major, mental health, friendships & involvement, and other ideas you send our way (sft@unk.edu).
