John Stoltzenburg, director of student services and orientation
facilitator, says there will be sessions for both parents and
students to help them become familiar with faculty, staff and
resident directors. "Orientation is the transition from high
school and living at home, so we try and make it as smooth as
possible by providing an environment filled with caring faculty,
staff, administration and students," Stoltzenburg said. "Orientation
is also a fun event, and our goal is to welcome each student to the
LC campus."
Orientation activities will also include having students fill out
paperwork, deal with financial aid and discover where to go for help
during the academic year.
A full listing of the Lincoln College orientation activities is
below.
Lincoln College was founded in 1865 as Lincoln University, the
only institution of higher education named for Abraham Lincoln
during his lifetime. It is a selective, two-year private liberal
arts college designed to prepare a student for university study
through a structured, supportive approach to learning. Approximately
89 percent of Lincoln College graduates transfer immediately to a
four-year school, where they succeed as well as or better than the
native student. Student-teacher ratio at Lincoln College is 13-to-1,
and the average class size is 16 students.
