That 9:45am sharp was BS. I mean, I ended up getting there at 9:15am, then around 9:30am, 1 person came. By 9:35, I was wondering where everyone else was.
We were checked in around 9:40 and led to the classroom where the orientation was to take place.
We started at like 10:10 or something. There were 11 incoming students. I believe all of us were transferring in. I don't remember. There were 3 student leader-type people, and 3 or 4 success coaches. I probably butchered these titles because it's like everyone has one. So confusing.
This in-person session was just a review of the online orientation that had to be completed by today. Good thing I completed mine back in November because I was tired of the messages "reminding" me that I needed to take it before the start of the semester. There was a tour (that I did last summer), that also doubled as a scavenger hunt.
We went back to the classroom, talked about what we learned on the tour/scavenger hunt, then went to another floor and had lunch.
Group picture thanks to Site Director Anthony Ferreria. We had Chipotle for lunch.
After lunch, back to the classroom. We went over how the Monday schedule would go (actually, I think that happened just after the tour/scavenger hunt...but anyway. We talked about the schedule.
Every Monday. 10am-4pm (this is the estimated breakdown as I don't remember exactly how it was and what each section was called) 930-10am is check-in 10-1030 is cohort time 1030-12pm learning time 12pm-1pm lunch (not provided by the school, but there are lots of restaurants around campus, plus food trucks) 1-3pm Upskilling (basically meeting with advisors and networking) 3-4 activity time
There could have been 1 other section called Ticketing or something. It's basically where your cohort leader or success coach checks that you've accomplished all your goals for the day.
They said they were going to email us a lot of the information that was covered and I hope the Monday schedule is a part of that. I'm fairly certain that we will be given the schedule when we check in on Monday.
The goodies we were given.
The shirt is 2xl and I was surprised and pleased that it fit me decently. I'm undecided if I will wear it on Monday or wear the shirt I bought last week (it's supposed to arrive on Friday or Saturday).
Overall, I'm really excited about the start of the term on January 9.
