This is not a it ' s FRESHMEN tours, tests, trials cmd tribulations ORIENTATION Awakened by a pounding on the door at 7:00 a.m., you crawl out of bed and shuffle down to breakfast. Then, you are given tests, lectures, and questionnaires, and are paraded all over strange grounds, seeing sites such as the Cube , the Diag , and the Fishbowl . You return to East Quad around 11:00 p.m. ex- hausted. Yet, the next day you are expected to do it again. This is not a terrible nightmare it ' s orientation. In three days, students encountered various aspects of the University. Ori- entation Programs Coordinator Barry MacDougall described the University ' s program as, one of the most compre- hensive, thorough, and advanced pro- grams in the country. Some universi- ties handle placement tests, registra- tion, and other activities separately, where here, we ' re able to combine all those steps together to provide students with as much information about the campus as one can realistically do in three days, said MacDougall. We also try to introduce students to issues and ideas, and this helps them prepare for some of the experiences and challenges they ' re going to meet . The process of registration involved placement testing, counseling appoint- ments, peer advising and CRISP. Even though CRISP is an old system, it ' s still one of the best in the country, said MacDougall. Most students found CRISP to be a confusing and difficult process, but LSA freshman Christy Harmes said, It wasn ' t a problem for me. I thought it was an easy process. The students also experienced lec- tures on ResComp, public safety, sexual assault, and multiculturalism. These events exposed the students to a wide range of important topics. The various lectures and open discussion sessions gave the students, a better feel of what was happening on campus, said LSA freshman Cherie Stewart. Other orien- tation activities included The Game of Life, a dance and a pizza party. Orientation leaders helped students throughout the three days. Cesar Valdez, an LSA junior, found that being an orientation leader, was the most amaz- ing experience in my life. Not only did he teach the students, but he learned from them also. Harmes said, the best part of orientation was getting to know everyone in my group. Orientation succeeded in preparing students for the years ahead of them. Engineering freshman Adam Corbin stated that, orientation was very thor- ough. Since it was over a period of three days, there was more time to absorb all the information. Orientation ac- quainted students with the University and with each other. -Stephanie Dickow X LIFE
