The apathetic nature of students on this campus is ridiculous. How is it that a university that prides itself on having a sense of community and coming together, can't even get more than 50 people to go to its events?
It is February and the last thing on any student's mind is the start of the next school year. But the new Orientation Week Leader coordinators Stacey Corso and Sarah Negrete are already planning next year's schedule.
The new students of the University of La Verne gathered August 28 in front of the Rock to participate in the 2001 "New Student Orientation," an introduction to college life that lasted through Sept. 2.
As an Orientation Week Leader (O.W.L.), students have the responsibility of making the transition from high school to college, a smoother one for freshmen. There is no certain characteristics or qualifications needed to apply for the position of an O.W.L. The new O.W.L. coordinators are looking for students who want to make a difference in another student's life.
Beginning on Aug. 24 and continuing through Sept. 4, Student Orientation welcomed University of La Verne's newest class of 425 students with a week full of academic and social activities.
