OJC New Student Orientation set for July 18 and 21, 2006
In an effort to help new students prepare for their first semester of
college, Otero Junior College will be hosting a new student orientation on July
18 and July 21 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. in the Ed Stafford Theatre of the
OJC Humanities Center. The event provides an orientation for new students to
Otero Junior College and to the many services available at the college. Students
can choose to attend either of the two days for their orientation. Students do
not need to attend both days.
Included in each orientation session will be information on the college
experience that includes dormitory life, the dining hall, clubs and
organizations, programs of study, and tips for college and academic success.
Also included will be presentations on financial aid, academic advising, and a
tour of the college.
According to Brad Smith, director of advising, guidance and recruitment at OJC,
attending an orientation session is important for both the new student and their
parents. “When a student and their parents attend an orientation session, it
provides an opportunity to learn more about OJC, and to have many of their
questions answered. We want all students to be successful here at Otero and this
is one of the positive steps we offer to better ensure that success,” explained
Smith.
Lunch will be provided for all students registered for the fall semester and
their guests. All students who plan to attend are asked to RSVP for a lunch
count to the OJC Student Services Center at 719-384-6831.
Fall Semester at OJC begins on August 21. Registration is currently underway for
all programs. For more information call the Student Services Center to schedule
an appointment with an academic advisor.
