According to Jeff Nelson, co-chair of
orientation and director of residential life, there will be
sessions for both parents and students to help them become
familiar with faculty, staff and resident directors. In addition,
students will fill out paperwork, deal with financial aid and
discover where to go for help during the academic year.
"Orientation is something Lincoln
College always targets to help students feel welcomed and have fun
when they first get here," said Nelson. "It gets them oriented
with campus and what we're about and what's going to happen during
the school year, plus freshman get a chance to meet new people."
The orientation co-chair and director
of student activities, John Stoltzenburg, thinks this year's
orientation will provide a fun experience for all. "I am very
excited to be working with such a bright and energetic group of
advisers," said Stoltzenburg. "They will represent Lincoln College
well and have a positive impact on the registration experiences of
our new students. We hope everyone will start their Lincoln
College experience with memories that will last a lifetime."
