Orientation The thought of entehng the great |inknown called college can be more lan a little intimidating and frighten- ig, but there is a program designed ith freshmen in mind. The summer fientation sessions are intended to icquaint incoming freshmen with cam- pus life. Freshmen orientation consisted of |wo days of panel presentations, cam- us tours, a little humor provided by ie orientation leaders, and the chance D register for classes. On the first day, the students and leir parents checked in to their rooms 1 a residence hall and headed to the ate Center. After ice-breaking intro- luctions with the orientation leaders, tudents took their placement tests oping to exempt some classes. Af- r lunch in one of the dining halls, the tudents were advised and given a walk-through of the dreaded registra- tion process. That night, in an effort to have a little fun, the orientation leaders performed various skits. Shalonda Henry, a ori- entation leader, said, We make up the skits ourselves and they are differ- ent from year to year. On the second day, the students had their student ID ' S made and were ready to register for classes. When the freshmen recieved their sched- ules they could leave. Many students found time to ex- plore and discover downtown Athens and the area surrounding campus. The experience of orientation allowed students to come to campus and be- gin to familiarize themselves with cam- pus before classes started making UGA a little bit more familiar. -Liticia Walston Discovering that registration is not all that bad is a stress-relieving experi- ence for these freshmen. Making fun of rival schools is a tradi- 3nal part of the orientation skits. Carol bney and Brian Fitzgerald portray stereo- pical Georgia Tech students.
