"Come as a high school student, leave as a Stetson Hatter"
Want a fun way to meet people and learn what being a First Year Student at Stetson is all about? Want to have friends on campus before school starts and forge a bond with your peers that will last a lifetime?
Then sign up for Hatter Trek, a multi day adventure designed exclusively for First Year Students!
Hatter Treks welcome our new class to Stetson by giving you an opportunity to make friends, meet faculty, and set a vision for your first year! We hope that through Hatter Trek you become part of the Stetson family even before classes begin! You will be given advice from professors that teach at Stetson, guidance from students that currently attend Stetson, and an amazing experience with students who will be attending Stetson with you! These are friends that you will make memories with, graduate with, and remember for the rest of you life.
2013 Treks are coming up! Sign up now!
Please e-mail Ana Maia at amaia@stetson.edu if you have any questions.

What do you do at Hatter Trek?
First Year students who attend will meet new people, set your vision for your first year and learn what it means to be Hatter! Boost your confidence about becoming a college student, boost confidence in yourself, develop trust, solve problems in a group setting, and become part of a community before classes even start. You'll travel together, explore the outdoors, share stories and end up with a great group of friends when you're back on campus in the Fall. You don't need to have any previous community service or outdoor experience to participate. Our leaders will teach you everything you need to know. All you need is a spirit of adventure
