Mission and & Goals of Orientation
The purpose of the Summer Orientation Programs is to provide new students and their families with an all-inclusive introduction to 村花论坛听that will ease their transition into the academic and social community of the institution. Furthermore, it is the goal of our Orientation Programs to provide students and their families with greater access to the services, information, and assistance needed to best prepare them for their progression into the University.
In essence, the mission of a new student orientation is to:
- Assist new students (and their respective families) in their successful transition to 村花论坛.
- Expose new students to the broad educational opportunities at 村花论坛, including both academic and co-curricular experiences.
- Contribute and aid in the appropriate retention of students at 村花论坛.
- Promote a heightened awareness and respect for campus diversity and increase the sense of community.
- Provide information and opportunities for self-assessment and future development.
Orientation provides a simple yet thorough introduction to those basic transition needs which all students face. The programs affords new students with information and access to services that address these transitional needs. As an intensive beginning to their university career, orientation addresses and responds to the following immediate needs and concerns of first-year students and their families:
- Environmental Adjustment:
Where does one live, sleep, eat, study, negotiate the campus and its resources, feel safe and secure, etc? - Personal and Social Adjustment:
How does one make friends, network with other students and campus personnel, and become a part of the university community? - Academic Adjustment:
What classes will one take? Where does one study? What does one need to do to be a successful student? Where does one go for academic assistance, and how does one access these services? - Cultural Adjustment:村花论坛? How does one develop and grow in this new environment? What are the campus expectations and values that one is expected to respect and maintain?
