Before classes began and students moved into the residence halls, all new students were getting oriented to UA. Orientation gave them a taste of college life by touring campus and registering for classes. “The main purpose of Orientation is to intro¬ duce new students and their families to the University of Arkansas,” said senior Stacy Bingham, Assistant Director for Special Events. “It gives them an opportunity to meet with academic advisors and to learn about college life from other students.” Orientation also provided new students the chance to learn about the university ' s policies and procedures. Students were able to take a peek at college life through workshops and skits about topics like setting goals, time management, and extracurricular activities. The highlight of the skits was the performance of the “Transition” program. Freshman Erin Owens said, “The best thing about it was talking to our advisors and professors because they were so helpful.” Orientation was not just for freshman, but for all new students. Transfer, non- traditional, and internation¬ al students were also famil¬ iarized with the university through orientation. Orientation was led by upperclassmen who were chosen in the spring semes¬ ter to answer questions, give tours and help new students meet and bond with other students. New student orientation was a time for new stu¬ dents to ask the questions they were afraid to pose and to begin seeing UA as their new home. — Cliff Haynes U Th • The main purpose of orientation is to introduce new students and their families to the University of Arkansas. y — Stacy Bingham Assistant Director for Special Events
