Freshley is all about helping you find your place in God’s story, at Carolina, and in Wesley.  Each week will begin with ice breakers and games to help you meet other first-years, and then the Freshley Team will lead a small group time to connect Scripture to your life as a first-year student.

Have a lab on Wednesdays?  Please come after!  Can't make it the first week?  Please come next week!

Freshley is on Wednesdays, 8:00-9:30 PM, beginning August 28!
If you have a late lab, please come after.  We designed Freshley so you won't be interrupting if you come after lab.  Seriously.  We promise.  Please come.
If you can't make it on the 8/28, we would love to have you come on future weeks!

Freshley is in our Wesley Building, 201 E. Rosemary St (the yellow building on the corner of Rosemary and Henderson Streets, one block off campus).

Junior studying Biology and Medical Anthropology

Fun Fact:  I have a hyper fixation on Jurassic Park, Spider-Man, and Titanic.
Favorite Wesley Moment: Racing to meet the ferry to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and then missing it, but then getting to know everyone so much better while waiting to catch the next one! 

Junior studying Global Studies, Economics, Philosophy, Politics, and Economics

Fun Fact:  I used to be left-handed!  (Don't jump off swings)
Favorite Wesley Moment:  Any and all of the music from worship.  Being able to play with the band and feel the energy of the room with all of the people who have become like a family is such a beautiful experience.

Sophomore studying Communication Studies, English, Comparative Literature, and Creative Writing

Fun Fact:  One of my life goals is to get bitten by a snake. Not on purpose. I just want it to happen so that I can say it happened. Snake bites are dope. Well, as long as they're not from a venomous snake. That would be less dope. But beggars can't be choosers, I guess.
Favorite Wesley Moment:  Studying really hard (i.e. taking naps, laughing and doing arts & crafts) in the Wesley building during exam time until I felt prepared for all my finals (i.e. no longer cared about tests, found inner peace instead).

Depending on how many people come each week, we'll be breaking up into smaller groups so we can have good small group conversation.  The good news is you'll be in groups with different people each week so you get to meet all the Wesley First-Years.  And, the game & ice breaker time will always include everybody!

We will absolutely make sure you and your friend are in the same small group if that is what you would like!

Freshley is located in the Wesley Building at 201 E. Rosemary Street (the corner of Rosemary and Henderson Streets), just off campus, and just across the street from TRU Deli.

Come after lab!  Although you’ll miss the ice breaker, we intentionally designed the schedule so that you can make it in time for small group.  For real, you won’t be interrupting anything.  We designed it with you in mind.
