Early Arrival Program

 

 

The Cultural Center Early Arrival Program (EAP) was created to help ease the high school to college transition for incoming underrepresented students. The three-day annual program takes place August 14-16,2023. The program includes a variety of enriching series of discussions, events, and networking activities about what it means to be an active and engaged student at the University of Louisville. The program is only open to students who register.  Meals, programming, and materials are provided by the program. At the conclusion, EAP participants will transition into the university's Welcome Week schedule of events.
