 John Stoltzenburg, director of student activities, says this year
there will be a session for both parents and students to help both
become familiar with faculty, staff and resident directors. In
addition, students will fill out paperwork, handle financial aid and
discover where to go for help during the academic year. "Week of
Welcome helps show new Lincoln College students what we do best,
which is make them feel like family," said Stoltzenburg. "We try to
make the transition from high school and living at home as smooth as
possible, and to do this requires providing the student with an
environment filled with people who they can rely on during this
adjustment period."
