Orientation=first impression

Public

Discussion:

Orientation is all about impression. Moreover, a first impression. When a student comes to orientation they are expecting to get connected not only to others in the institution (like instructors and other students), but are looking to get connected to the resources that will help them suceed in their journey. They are ultimately looking to have their expectations (set out by the admissions counselor) met and are there to make sure that they are in line with the descision they made to attend.
