Welcome to New Student Orientation-2008

CONQUERING NEW TERRITORY

Class of 2012, we are excited you chose Newberry College as the place live, learn and grow over the next four years. You are approaching new territory and New Student Orientation serves as your navigation guide, explaining what you will encounter. The program offers organized, purposeful, and positive sessions for new students and their families. When you attend New Student Orientation, you will be led by an Orientation Leader (OL) a in small group setting, based on your First-Year Experience (FYE) mentoring group.
