TAG YOUR LIFE#acgatorgram

brittani_vescio

Welcome to Allegheny!

We are very excited that you are able to

join us for the Spring Orientation program!

The purpose of this program is to help you with

your initial transition to Allegheny by encouraging you to connect

with other new students and families, to discover the value of our

curricular and co-curricular experiences, and to engage with the vast

resources within our campus community.

This schedule is your guide to your first few days on campus. We will

follow up throughout the spring with monthly lunches to introduce you

to the many facets of the Allegheny experience: our rigorous academic

curriculum, our many co-curricular activities, our supportive campus

community, and much more!

Please keep this schedule with you throughout the weekend. If you

have any questions or concerns, please contact us at

(814) 332-2898 or orientation@allegheny.edu.

Once again, we are happy to welcome you to

the Allegheny family, and we look forward to

making your transition as smooth as possible.

Make friends with similar interests by going

to every single club meeting that interests you. Then pick one or two that fit you best and have people in

them that you relate to. Getting involved in the Allegheny community

early on is important to getting the most out of

your college experience.Emilie

Don’t underestimate the power of simply saying “hello” to an

unfamiliar face.Jackie

Be involved on campus. Don’t just spend your

days Skyping with your high school friends.

Abby

Get to know your professors. They can

help you out in so many ways— internships, jobs,

career choices...Heidi

Don’t be afraid to approach a professor for help. Every professor is willing to sit down with you and explain a

concept or help you through a hard problem.Michelle

Make a schedule and stick to it! It will help

you manage your activities and make the

most of your time.Justin

Take advantage of every opportunity that is given

to you at Allegheny. Don’t hold back. Step up

to the challenge.Jennifer

If you have a problem with your roommate,

talk to them. Don’t just write about it in your

Facebook status!Lynn

Sleep is a very good thing.
