Three Pre-Orientation programs are available to Widener University's freshmen this year. These optional programs are targeted only to incoming freshmen so they get to know like-minded peers with interests to be leaders and involved early in their campus.
Each program will be led by upperclassmen student leaders and supported by administrators and faculty.
This added support grounds freshmen participants with the opportunity to establish university connections at multiple levels before classes begin!
Goals of these programs include:
These programs are open to resident and commuter students, and all of their meals are included in each program.
Each Pre-Orientation program has its own costs covering all activities, meals, and on-campus living expenses for resident students.
Space is limited and participation requires completion of a brief application and acceptance into the program. These are optional programs and do not carry academic credit.
All Pre-Orientation programs end on campus before the Fall Orientation program begins on Monday, September 1, 2008. Pre-Orientation programs are not a replacement for Fall Orientation.
Fall Orientation is an academic requirement. Therefore, attendance is taken at many of the programs. All Fall Orientation programs and events have no admission fee.
Missing the majority of Fall Orientation programs without an excused absence will require participation in a make-up session at the expense of the student, and judicial action may be applied.
Pre-Orientation programs are OPTIONAL and targeted only to incoming freshmen so they get to know like-minded peers with interests to be leaders and involved early in their campus.
