Students learn as they teach sessions
By Carol Stephenson
Staff Reporter
When incoming students arrive on campus tomorrow for this summer's first orientation program, 12 friendly faces will greet them.
The 12 students, selected in February and March, will assist incoming students in 14 orientation sessions in June and July.
Lovely Ulmer, assistant director of admissions and summer orientation coordinator said Monday that about 10 events applied for the summer positions.
"We were looking for students who really wanted to help others," Ulmer said. "We wanted students who were warm, personable, caring and patient. We looked for leadership, knowledge of the University of Kansas, enthusiasm about KU and good communication skills."
After the students were hired, they began a three-week training period where they met everyone
from Chancellor Gene A. Budig to the janitors who arrange the tables for orientation, Ulmer said.
The students chosen were Paul Barter, Shawnee junior; William Easley, Leawood senior; Anthony Gutterrez, Topeka junior; Jonathan Haynes, Wamego junior; Stephen Judy, Manhattan junior; Amy Kingard, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore; Karen Neilsen, Sioux City, Iowa junior; Dale Romme, Hays senior; Teresa Small, Junction City sophomore, and Mary Spies, Loussburg junior. Student coordinators of the program are Peter Miene, Prairie Village graduate student, and Lorie Walker, Topeka senior.
Haynes said, "During the training, we learned a tremendous amount of information about the University and how to help people."
The knowledge acquired during the training will be shared with the new students as the assistants introduce
them to KU. The assistants will explain the uses of the undergraduate catalog and timetable and will aid in enrollment procedures.
Ulmer said that an important part of the program was having the assistants talk to the students about life at KU. Ulmer said.
Romme said, "During our presentation we can tell them about our experiences at KU, and basically how we feel about the University. Because we are students and not administrators, they'll be able to open up to us and not be afraid to ask us questions."
Umer said the program was beneficial to the new students because it allowed their fears about coming to the University, and they were exposed to the academic and social opportunities that KU had to offer.
Incoming students are not the only
ones who benefit from the orientation program. The student assistants also find the program advantageous, she said.
Kincaid said, "We have so much access to information about the University. We talked to the chancellors, the academic deans, the directors of departments and so many others that are involved with KU. The experience has been invaluable. Anytime I need to know something or want something, now I know where to turn."
KU has conducted a summer orientation program since the 1960s. During the early 1970s the University stopped the program because of lack of interest from incoming students and their parents, Ulmer said. The program was brought back in the late 1970s. Last summer 3,449 students and 2,906 parents participated in the program.
