Small groups will also spend one session learning what financial aid is available and how to find it. The four other small session will be decided by the adviser and students. In the large group orientation sessions, various speakers address the students. The addresses include an overview of the student government members duties, an intellectual preparation to encourage students to meet the challenge and adventure of learning and a session to introduce students to available advisement. In fall quarter 1988, the orientation program offered a session on drug awareness. A panel of students related personal experiences of heavy involvement with drugs. Kingsford said the session was well received by the students and that she would like to utilize panels in future years. Since fall of 1985 there has been increased attendance in the orientation sessions. Kingsford said that 95 percent of those in the class pass. The most intriguing part of the figures, said Kingsford, is that 65 percent of the people who pass the class attend eight or more of the classes. There must be something drawing the students to the classes, she said. SUSCs success with the orientation program prompted CEU to require an orientation class for its freshman, Kingsford said. Weber State College is considering requiring the course, too, she said. SUSCs orientation class began in fall quarter 1983 because SUSCs administrators saw the need for an orientation class to teach students the basics of college life, Kingsford said. rn UNJ J2) jj oART & DRAFTING SUPPLIES DISCOUNT CARDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENT ART SUPPLY PURCHASES.
