WORDS KATY PATAO PHOTO ILLUSTRATION SANTIAGO RODRIGUEZ Orientation Week begins with moving in and continues with dean-led seminars, bonding with other incoming freshmen and transfer students, Cane Kick-Off and Shalalais picnic. This week helps new students become acclimated not only to college life, but also to Miami itself. Freshman Kathleen Murphy felt Orientation helped her move right into college. Orientation provided an opportunity for me to familiarize myself with the school, its traditions and its students, Murphy said. Throughout the whole experience I found my Residential Advisor and new classmates to be really helpful. Many students found Orientation Week resources essential when it came to recognizing the different buildings and paths of the school. Without Orientation i would still be walking around campus looking for someone called the UC, freshman Adam Bofill said. While some students discovered the campus on their own, freshman Courtney Sparks used the scavenger hunt to remember different areas on campus. I learned just enough to not get lost on the first day of classes, she said. 1.6 Lifestyles ano-oa-n- i SPIRITEXPERTPresident Donna Shalala teaches FOOD,FRIENDSANDFUN Students new and old fill President new Canes the most important lesson in spirit: how to hold Up the .
