CATalyst is a pre-orientation and beyond program geared toward helping new students transition into college. The goal of CATalyst is to give the participants the tools that they can use during Wildcat Welcome and throughout their freshman year to help them be the most comfortable and confident they can be on campus. These tools come from an increased level of self-awareness, communication and leadership skills. CATalyst participants will arrive at Wildcat Welcome equipped with friends, upperclassmen mentors, and an overall knowledge of Northwestern life that most students will only attain at the end of their first quarter. Essentially, CATalyst embodies the fun and excitement of the first year at college into one awesome five-day trip.
