2013 Summer Orientation
Welcome New and Transfer Students!
Going to college, even a new college, can simultaneously be exhilarating and overwhelming. You may be excited but equally as nervous about meeting new people, experiencing a new (or different) college environment, finding roommates, attending college-level classes, navigating the campus, finding acceptance in a new environment, or just exploring a new town!
To make this significant transition a little bit easier, Ithaca has a summer orientation program where new and transfer students can meet other classmates, learn about campus life, attend workshops and social events, gain exposure to some of the academic and social challenges they might face, talk with faculty, and register for fall semester classes. Orientation is a great time to hear from current students, ask questions, and get a sneak peak of what to expect at Ithaca College before the semester starts.
