The Beginning

Purpose:

To introduce new students to our campus and the college experience.
To assist in choosing a field of study and registering for classes.
To begin your Odyssey: The transition to college life.

What to Expect:

Odyssey 2008:  The Beginning - The day includes some large informational sessions, some small group discussions and tours, and one-on-one advising.  In the afternoon you will be putting together your own schedule with the help of Advisement, and Odyssey staff.  You will receive your fall class schedule.

There are also sessions for parents called "The Adventure of Letting Go." These are sessions which take place while the new students are learning about campus and scheduling classes.
