Starting a college career can be exciting and perhaps overwhelming. That is why a special Orientation Program has been designed to welcome new students to campus. This is your introduction to the University and your opportunity to let us help you make the transition as smooth as possible.

Coming to Orientation will give you an early opportunity to familiarize yourself with the campus, meet other students, finalize your course selection for the fall semester and receive the help you need in an environment that is less hectic than early September when your academic responsibilities begin. During this orientation program, you will receive academic advising, meet faculty advisors, peer counselors and staff members who will be ready to work closely with you during this time.

Social and recreational activities and important workshops are being planned especially for you. Through working and participating in small groups, you will gain a better understanding of some of the important issues on today's college campuses. You will also become familiar with the campus and the resources available to you. Each student will receive individual attention in these small groups.

We believe you will find orientation an enjoyable and informative experience. We are anxious to serve you and look forward to your arrival on campus this summer.
