What is the JumpStart Program?
This free four-day program is designed to provide incoming Neff College of Business and Innovation majors with a variety of activities focused on enhancing their academic and social skills.
Participants will be able to meet other first-year students while experiencing a wide range of programming presented by UToledo faculty, staff, alumni and students, in addition to members of the greater Toledo community.
