New students arrived on Sunday. August 26. That day they attended the awards convo- cation. a reception, met with their faculty advi- sors. and had their first floor meeting with R.A.s. The following week was filled with registration, a fun and games day at Lawsonia, a dance spon- sored by SMAC with the band Heartbeat” and proficiency tests given by several departments. The main emphasis of the 1984 orientation was that of faculty advising, especially in plan- ning class schedules and career goals.
