Orientation aids new students
By KIM NEWTON Staff Reporter
About 3,000 to 3,500 new students are expected to participate in the University of Kansas summer orientation program, which is designed to ease the adjustment process for new students. Lovely Ulmer, coordinator of the summer orientation program, said recently.
Between June 12 and July 17, will visit the campus and participate in the enrollment program and activities by the office of educational services.
"The summer orientation program's purposes are to inform incoming students of what the university expects academically, to acclimate them to the University and its services, to advise and enroll them efficiently and correctly, and to allay their fears," Ulmer said.
Ulmer said most new students were worried about getting lost, performing well academically and making friends.
"SOMETIMES THEY WAY if they will get to know their professors or if they can room with people from their hometowns," Ulmer said. "Usually these problems are worked out, or there are services available to help them, such as information services, if they get lost."
"We find once they get here, because of the nature of the University, they have access to a wide variety of services, both academic and social, that break down into smaller groups that they can deal with."
The summer orientation program, as described in KU brochures, enables undergraduates new to KU to meet with students from other colleges and tour the campus and find what stuf-
dent organizations and activities, housing, financial aid and counseling services are available.
Ulmer said last year's report evaluating student and parental responses to the orientation session surveys showed that 95 percent of the participants received answers to their questions and more comfortable with selecting KU.
STUDENTS WILL meet in ten small group supervises by student group leaders who have undergone 80 hours of training and are answering questions during the sessions.
The group leaders will be responsible for conducting walking tours of the campus and bus tours for parents. They will also assist students in learning to transfer information from the Timetable onto class cards in a mock exercise before actually enrolling with their advisers.
Lynn Huss, OrmahA, Neb, junior, said the group leaders spent two weeks learning the layout of the campus and the history of the buildings and meeting with different schools and organizations.
Umer said the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was offering "co-coding" this year for students interested in professional schools their junior years.
A STUDENT interested in entering the School of Business, for example, would be able to meet with a business professor and an adviser from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences during the session. Ulmer said.
"The sooner a student can establish contact in fields he may be interested in the better off he is." Ulmer said.
Charles Krider, associate dean of the School of Business, said co-advising was important because students needed
to know the requirements for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as the requirements needed to enter the professional schools.
James Carothers, English professor, said, "I think the summer orientation program is beneficial to both students and faculty because it gives them more leisure time and access academic opportunities and pre-registration makes enrollment easier.
An adviser in the summer orientation program for twenty years, John Landgrebe, chemistry professor, said he helped the program was "very successful."
"I think students coming earlier in the summer relieves the anxiety and answers questions they have that might not get answered in the fall." Landen adds, "Because the advantage of doing it early because they get the classes they want."
WHILE STUDENTS are enclosing, parents will have the opportunity to meet with various deans, administrators and faculty members.
"We're seeing a real increase in parental involvement," Ulmer said. "It slacked off in the '60s and '70s, but now we're seeing more parental support."
"Last year a family from Wyoming drove down for the orientation and drove back when it was over." Ulmer said. "Frequently we have people who are in our backyard to follow us back. Some families try to combine the sessions with their vacations."
The registration fee for summer orientation is $9 for students and $7 for parents. The fee includes a luncheon, the orientation student packet and identification cards.
Overnight housing will be available in Gentrue Sellars. Pearson Hall for $8 a room the evening before and during the sessions.
