Freshman orientation took place on Monday and Tuesday for the large, enthusiastic Class of 2019. Included in the jam-packed two days were:
- A panel, moderated by Meg Albrinck, vice president for academic affairs and the dean of the college, and comprised of four faculty members. The professors offered numerous tips on how to succeed in college and answered questions.
- Presentations by the members of Lakeland’s Student Success and Engagement Team on the college’s many co-curricular, fraternity and sorority, employment and student leadership opportunities.
- A trip to Sheboygan’s renowned John Michael Kohler Arts Center, where the students participated in a writing workshop with the artists-in-residence, Young Chicago Authors. After the workshop, 10 students read their poems or stories out loud in front of their peers.
- A bean bag championship tournament and an ice cream social, with music played by a DJ, in the 1862 Lounge.
