New Student Orientation

New students are invited to attend the New Student Orientation on Wednesday, August 27, 2008.

Orientation is the first step in a series of programs you may participate in to help you make a successful transition to college. You will have an opportunity to meet with the dean of your division to help you better understand your program of study. You will also learn about college life, college resources to help you succeed, and get a tour of the campus (weather permitting).
