exit 26 1 Statesboro + The First Time Every Fall, a new class of anxious Freshmen arrives on the campus of Georgia Southern College. To help these new students adjust to their new environment and lifestyle, GSC has es- tablished the SQUAWK Orientation pro- gram. It aids students in learning their way around campus. Several confer- ences and socials are held during orienta- tion weekend for the Freshmen and their parents to meet each other and some of the GSC faculty and staff. Having one ' s parents attend orientation can help re- lieve some of the anxiety of the new situation. It doesn ' t take long for most students to adjust to their new lifestyles. The first step in adjusting is moving into the dorm and setting up the room that will be home for at least the next three months. Freshmen soon find out that there are many friendly and helpful people on the GSC campus who can help make the transition to college life a little easier and less confusing. They can sense the feel- ing of being welcome, and most feel at home within a short period of time.
