10 Life4U Fall 2009–Summer 2010 11

Most students’ first connection with Student Life happens before they ever take a class.

Orientation is hosted by Student Life to help incoming students learn about the campus they will be attending as well as helpful information about the college like who to talk to about things such as financial aid, parking, or registration. The information is presented with interactive games to make the two- hour presentation more fun and easier to remember. There is a lot more technology involved for this year’s Orientation. Students will now be able to use a clicker, a hand held device that allows them to respond to questions by the Orientation Leaders. This year there are ten new Orientation Leaders with new training to keep the program more enjoyable and the sign-in is done using student ID cards you swipe, making it easier to enter. You may sign up for Orientation when registering for classes, and for those interested in becoming more involved, there is a paid internship available through Student Life.

The Campus Activities program hosts events like Project: Build a Park, Welcomepalooza, and

Springtini. CAB (Campus Activities Funding Board) allocates funds out to students that request them for events or activities. The funding board is both run and funded by students. Before a request is approved, a board of seven students look over the application and make a consensus over what they are going to fund. Students involved with CAB learn to manage a budget and distribute funds. If interested, students may apply to join CAB at the Northridge SL Office with an essay and an interview. Once part of CAB, students have the opportunity to learn leadership skills, compromising and consensus skills, and can attend a leadership conference in the fall for a week where they mix and mingle with other college students from all over the USA.
