That's a wrap on Summer orientation no. 1! 🤩
We had a lovely time meeting our newest Lions and their families. Our Advisor Quick Chats were a hit, allowing our advisors to meet with students to answer questions about their schedules while giving them an opportunity to schedule more in-depth follow-ups. One down, five to go! We can't wait to meet y'all!! 🦁💚💛
