Connections 2008
New Student Orientation - for students and parents
Making a smooth transition to college involves more than simply memorizing a campus map. It requires making many connections prior to your actual arrival.
All admitted student should plan to attend Connections: New Student Orientation either in April or June. In a span of about 24 hours on the Milligan campus, you'll connect to your new collegiate home in many ways:
- Begin to build friendships with other new Milligan students...maybe even find your roommate!
- Meet faculty and staff — those that will serve as academic and spiritual mentors for the next few years
- Select courses for the fall 2008 semester. That’s right, you will leave Connections with a course schedule in hand — no need to worry over the summer about which courses you will take
- Address your parents’ questions and needs with special sessions just for them
- Discover how you can be involved with student activities
- Receive answers to your remaining financial aid questions
- Have your student ID made so you can start using it from Day 1
- Become familiar with Milligan’s campus — the place where you will spend your time learning and living
- Above all, you will become increasingly convinced that Milligan is the college for you!
