Welcome to New Students
Welcome! On behalf of the entire 2011-2012 Orientation team, congratulations on becoming part of the St. Andrews community. Participation in Orientation helps new students prepare for their future at St. Andrews by laying a strong foundation for their college experience and becoming a part of a welcoming, close-knit environment where students can explore and thrive. During Orientation, you will begin your journey of discovery and success by:
- Learning how to navigate the academic and social transitions to college
- Getting involved on campus and meeting new people
- Finding campus resources and support services
As you settle in during Orientation, take time to explore different areas of interest. In both academic and co-curricular activities, get to know different types of people, try new things, and make the most of every minute here at St. Andrews.
The ‘Drew Crew Orientation Leaders, academic advisors, faculty and staff members, Resident Assistants (RAs), and many others are here to assist you. If there is anything you need, please contact Jennifer Roberts.
