Although they don't know one another, about 80 new KU students will soon be living together; attend meetings; speak in groups; interacting in many of the same activities.
The students are part of a pilot group organized by the office of residence life. They will participate in a program called "Excellence in Ellsworth" when they come to the University of Kansas next fall.

The university is a result of efforts
that the school of new student orientation
and university administrators
are making to help new students
succeed, said Sally Bryant, director
of new student orientation.
"If you don't make it in school, no one sits around and holds your hand forever." Bryant said.
"Excellence in Ellsworth" encour
ages participants to become involved in campus activities and builds cohesiveness among group members.
The students who volunteered to take part in the program will live together on the tenth floor of ELLworth Hall. We have a class together and are assigned as teaching ministers and be assigned to an instructor or faculty mentor.
As a result, the orientation office hopes to break down the fear factor that many new students have and to ease their transition into college.

She said commitment from upper administration to make orientation a more comprehensive and ongoing program resulted in the development of a full-time, year-round office of a new student orientation last June.
Bryant said orientation had always been a valuable step for new stu
Before then, the orientation program was only a segment of the admissions office, coordinated by a part-time staff.
In addition to "Excellence in Ells worth," Bryant said numerous other programs might be developed to facilitate the ongoing orientation process. One of her goals, she said, was to create separate orientations for freshmen, transfer students and readmitted students, so that the unique needs of each group could be addressed.
