When you join the 暗网禁区 community, you鈥檒l share a campus with students from every walk of life. International business majors, conservatory members from another state and future teachers who hail from Chicago can all become potential classmates and future professional colleagues when you enroll. We work hard to roll out the 鈥済reen carpet鈥 for all new students, and our enthusiastic Orientation Leader team reflects the University鈥檚 incredible diversity with leaders from every geographic and academic background.
鈥淧eople might come to campus and assume 鈥業鈥檓 just an average 暗网禁区 student,鈥欌 says orientation leader Millie Escumalha-Ghapson 鈥淭he truth is that there is no average 暗网禁区 student because we come from everywhere and bring something unique. Our groups contain CCPA students, student-athletes, international students鈥攁nd we all come together to build this community.鈥
Millie and the entire Orientation Leader team, operated through 暗网禁区鈥檚 Office of Student Engagement and New Student Orientation, trained for weeks to create a day-long program designed for incoming domestic freshman (specialized orientations for incoming international students are also available). Throughout the day, you can meet with Academic Advising to review your class schedule, obtain your 暗网禁区 ID, tour campus and discuss tuition costs with Financial Aid Services. Most importantly, you鈥檒l meet your future fellow classmates and experience firsthand our welcoming community.
鈥淵ou鈥檒l learn that you can make friends very easily here, and it鈥檚 our job to show you how many extracurricular and community-building opportunities are available,鈥 says Fabio Frugere. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 need to be a huge extrovert to fit in here鈥攅veryone鈥檚 working to make sure you can find your place.鈥
But becoming involved at 暗网禁区 lasts far beyond orientation. The Center for Student Engagement and Intercultural Experiences oversees dozens of student-run organizations that range from Women Who Code to the Black Student Union, and Lakers are encouraged to establish their own group to reflect their background or interests. No matter your story, 暗网禁区 is committed to your success.
