ORIENTATION
Participation in a formal orientation program is considered important
for providing new students a smooth transition into campus life. A two-day
summer program is sponsored for both incoming freshman students and
their parents. Emphasis is on discussion of College philosophy, policies
and expectations. Students register for their fall classes and have
the opportunity to meet others in their class. Special information sessions
for parents are held to orient them to the Le Moyne experience that
their son or daughter is about to begin. Faculty and staff members make
various presentations and are available to answer questions.
A fall orientation program supplements the two-day summer program.
It is more social in nature and is coordinated by an orientation committee
of upperclass students who help new students move in and introduce them
to campus organizations, programs and people. A P.A.T.H. (Peers Assisting
in the Transition to the Heights) program assigns upperclass students
to maintain contact with a group of 8-10 new students throughout their
initial fall semester to enhance their connection to Le Moyne.

hall for freshmen and sophomores. Foery Hall and Harrison Hall provide
