Orient
Continued from p. 1
Linea Sundstrom, advising assistant, said that about 300 students went through each session, and that there were about 13 sessions altogether. The first orientation session was June 11.
In a typical day of orientation, the students meet between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. in woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. At 9 a.m., the chancellor or a vice chancellor greets them, after which they hear a KU professor's presentation, called "Academic Conventions for a KU Student."
Between 9:30 a.m. and 10:20 a.m., the students meet with staff members of student affairs.
"At the student affairs meetings, we are trying to get students to tell us
about what they're uncomfortable about at KU. It's also just answering questions; an informal, free flow of information," Ulmer said.
She said parents and students had different concerns, and that parents had the more practical, day-to-day concerns.
"Student concerns are more like, 'Am I going to like it here?' or, 'What's college all about?' or, 'When do I meet my roommate?' " she said. "I know of the day-to-day things that the student will have to work out."
In the afternoon, students meet with academic advisers from the schools in which they are interested. Bill Sharp, coordinator for
academic advising, said this gives the students a chance to meet with KU professors and to select their own schedules.
Ulmer said, "We want the student to make the class schedule decision alone."
Hal Stein, a future KU student from Chicago, had just finished filling out his enrollment card at Saturday's session.
"The best thing about this is the students helping out, making sure I know where I'm going," he said.
