SECTION 3.9
Preparing for Orientation

Your Emory experience starts here!
Orientation is your chance to begin your exploration both academically and socially. Every student is assigned a small group lead by one of our Orientation Leaders (OLs). OLs are current Emory students who are committed to helping first-year students transition into their new home. Read below to learn how to make the most of your Orientation experience and explore some of our most cherished Orientation traditions and signature events.

Taking Advantage of Orientation
We highly advise students to take advantage of Orientation as this is your opportunity to explore all that Emory has to offer. Follow these tips to help ensure you are fully engaged in the Orientation experience.

	Be Present. There can be many distractions during Orientation. Do your best to attend every session and be fully engaged in the information being presented.
	Step Outside. It may sound cliche' but it's important you step outside your comfort zone at times to help build connections across campus.
	Relationship Building is Key. The second you step on campus you will be building your network of classmates, professors, and Emory staff, all of whom help contribute to your success. Make sure you are being intentional about the relationships you build during this important time.

COMING SOON
The Orientation schedule will be available starting in August via the Guidebook mobile app. Instructions for downloading the Orientation schedule will be available on our website (college.emory.edu/orientation).
