The Sophomore Experience at RPI
In collaboration with offices and areas throughout the RPI community, the Sophomore Experience promotes a positive transition and unified experience from the first to second year for all RPI students, regardless of major or academic school.
The Sophomore Experience at RPI is made up of six key pieces:
- Building Community
- Establishing a Routine
- Connecting to Resources
- Thinking Forward
- Enhancing Skills
- Practicing Holistic Wellness

From the Sophomore Welcome Back event to the Sophomore Summit, we've developed a road map of events designed for a successful and fun sophomore year at RPI.
In addition to our signature sophomore year events, we've collected events taking place across the RPI community to create the Sophomore Playbook. Check out events hosted by campus offices, organizations, and partners throughout the Fall semester.
Physical copies of the Sophomore Playbook are available in Academy Hall 4600.
Our Learning Assistants (LA) support RPI's orientation experiences and host interactive first-year and sophomore workshops and programs throughout the year to help students thrive academically, socially, and personally.
