Orientation
We make our orientation all about the students experience. We have candy, ballons, games, music, etc. We talk about how we can work together to help the students achieve their dreams. We even have the student write down the dream, and give us a copy so we can remind them throughout their education what their dream is. This help the students in tought times. Besides talking about all the housekeeping information we introduce the students to their program directors. Most of these students may have not met the PD, so this is a great opportunity to get even more excited about their decision to attend, and meet their director.

Sounds like you have an awesome format here!

Your format does sound great! Ours is beating them over the head about attendance and default. Now that's fun...
:) Those things are important as well....but I agree, there are many other things they need to be aware of and those topics aren't necessarily motivating.
