MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (April 15, 2013) — This weekend, April 19-20, Milligan College will welcome more than 70 new and prospective students and their families to campus for Connections.
Connections is a weekend orientation designed to make incoming students feel at home on Milligan’s campus before they arrive for classes this fall. It gives students an opportunity to tour the campus, meet professors and learn about life at Milligan. This is the first of two Connections weekends at Milligan this year; the next orientation will be held in June.
During Connections, students get their Milligan ID cards, meet their mentors and roommates, select courses, and get their questions answered before classes begin in August.
Parents also are included in the orientation weekend. There is a parent question-and-answer session and an opportunity to gather important financial aid information. In addition to touring the campus with their students, parents are invited to a brunch where they meet members of the college’s parent council.
“The program’s purpose is to connect students and parents to Milligan,” said Tracy Brinn, Milligan’s director of enrollment management.
While many students are finalizing their college plans, others are still deciding or navigating the application process. Milligan still is accepting applications for the fall semester, and scholarships and financial aid are available, as well.
“Of course, the sooner you get your application in and are accepted, the more time you have to work through the details and feel prepared for fall,” Brinn said. “But our admissions counselors work with students throughout the summer, sometimes up until the week before school starts, to help incoming students.
“It’s not too late to begin your college dream this fall at Milligan.”
