FRESHMAN ORIENTATION The Beginning Everyone has experienced the confusion of being in a new place and not knowing where to go or who to ask for help, espe- cially at a university. Twelve years ago a program, summer orientation, began for all incom- ing freshmen. Skip Daugherty in conjunction with the College of Undergraduate Studies, has been in charge of orientation for the last six years. This year the program lasted from June 20 to July 28. It was an excellent year, said Skip Daugh- erty. The sessions averaged 150 students per day plus their par- ents. Only ten percent of the 2,874 registered students did not attend. Many of the incoming freshmen and their parents took advantage of an overnight stay in the dorms while at the univer- sity. It let them see where the stu- dents would be living during the year. These students got an idea of how big the rooms were and just how comfortable the beds could be. In addition to several sessions on anything from hous- ing to food service, campus tours were given to help the students get a head start on finding class- rooms, the library, and even the grill. Amid all of this, students registered for classes at times when there were no other pres- sures to worry about. If I had not done it when I came down, I would have been lost, said Lin- da Ross, a nursing major from Russell, Ky Tracy Hobbs, an ac- counting major, also from Rus- sell, agreed. The scheduling was helpful, and my parents liked it too, she said. The program gave many stu- dents a working knowledge of the campus and allowed them to complete registration while fo- cusing on individual needs. Orientation has continued to grow in acceptance with parents and freshmen alike. Summer ori- entation for many students meant finding out about the place they would be living for approximately nine months a year for the next four years. It was a good beginning to their college experience. Above left: Personal advising is one of the spe- cial advantages of Freshman orientation.
