New Student Orientation
New student orientation is designed to help students make the transition to college life. New students will become familiar with the campus, their classmates, upper-class students, faculty, and staff. Formal and informal meetings are planned with faculty, academic advisors, staff, First-Year Mentors, and Resident Assistants (RAs). First-Year Mentors are upper-class student volunteers committed to helping new students learn about and become familiar with the College community. These students will interact with new students throughout the year. During the initial days of orientation, there will be educational programs, social programs, and recreational activities for new students to become acquainted with other students.
