Alina, There should be some program information. Yet, orientation should be something that engages the student and gives them what they need to know to get a good start in their studies. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Marlin, Also consider how orientation is extended beyond the first day of their studies. Orientation starts at enrollment and extends into the second or third term for the student. Acclimation might even be a better word to use than orientation. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Alina, Sitting in class might be helpful but is an effort that needs to be organized. Instructors need to be comfortable with this. Visiting the earlier courses in a program might be better than attending a course that is later in the program. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Qadar, Social media such as Facebook continues to grow as a resource for students and the school. I assume the General Education class is the first course for all students. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Denise, Using an App or a website is the way to go these days. Let students access information from their own devices. It is a Green option too. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Tyler, An orientation shaped as a networking event is likely to be more engaging then "talking heads" marching in front of them. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
