Student Orientation - A Service Whose Time has Come

First year college students are more diverse than ever before. Many are older, non-traditional students and international students. Others come with psychological problems, and some are less proficient in basic skills.

Whether these workshops is offer academic pointers or outdoors bonding experiences, the goals are to provide realistic information about transitioning to college and creating a socially supportive environment.
