Helping Students Ease into College.
Abraham, Jimmy; Wagnon, Bill
Planning for Higher Education, v21 n1 p32-36 Fall 1992
Orientation for first-year college students is important for students, parents, and the institution. It should fit institutional traditions, values, and culture, involve parents, be staffed by well-trained current students, and be carefully evaluated for improvement. Mississippi State University's program focuses on retention and is festive, congratulatory, and friendly. (MSE)
