ORIENTATION OVERVIEW Now Showing...Orientation 2012! Orientation is a three day program in which students participate in presentations, activities, and team-building experiences designed to familiarize them with academic and student life. Students will attend sessions that will answer questions, address concerns, and familiarize them with all of the services and activities available at Chestnut Hill College for students. There are numerous opportunities to meet and connect with other new students. Students will be divided into groups based on the t-shirt color they are assigned. Each color group has 3-4 Orientation Leaders, commonly known as OLs, who will lead the students through the three day program. Each OL is carefully selected through an application process and participates in extensive training at the end of May, mid-July, and August. OLs are known for their enthusiasm and commitment to Chestnut Hill College. “Ready for any good work,” they are genuinely dedicated to welcoming new students and making them feel at home at Chestnut Hill. They help to meet the goals of Orientation by providing students with information and resources on a very informed and personal level. Planning for orientation begins in the late fall and carries on throughout the summer. Orientation is incredibly important at Chestnut Hill College, because we want students to feel at
