\n\tSummer may seem quiet on the University of Washington Bothell campus, but it’s busy for incoming students and the office of Orientation and Transition Programs<\/a>.
\n\t
\n\tIn the June-September period there are 23 orientation events: 14 for transfer students, six for first year students and three for parents. 足彩app哪个是正规的y all find out about academic options and campus resources – where things are and how they work.
\n\t
\n\t“It’s an exciting time of the year for our team,” says Director Terry Hill, right. “足彩app哪个是正规的re’s a lot of energy when students and parents arrive.”
\n\t
\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 goal is to “give students a sense of community on the first day of class,” Hill says. One distinctive way UW Bothell forges an early connection is by assigning each first year student an orientation leader in the spring. 足彩app哪个是正规的 leaders contact the new students by phone, Facebook and email to answer questions. 足彩app哪个是正规的y lead color-coded cohorts through a two-day orientation on campus.
\n\t
\n\tIt doesn’t end there. 足彩app哪个是正规的 orientation leader maintains the connection through the first quarter, all the way into December. “That’s something that’s really special,” creating a sense of community and a feeling they belong, says Carrie Newman, advising and orientation program manager.
\n\t
\n\tFirst year student Robin Cuevas of Kent, left, who plans for a career in nursing, was attracted by University of Washington Bothell’s first year entry in the RN to BSN program.<\/p>

\n\t“I like that only Bothell has a program to go into the first year,” she said on a sunny Discovery Hall plaza. “I could get into it right away.”
\n\t
\n\tEven more students arrive at UW Bothell as transfers from two-year colleges. Transfers receive their own shorter orientation because they’ve already managed the transition to college life.
\n\t
\n\tMontana Hawksford of Shoreline, right, arrived at her July 19 orientation having earned an associate degree in biology from Shoreline Community College. She plans to earn a bachelor’s in biology with a long-term goal of going to medical school to become a medical examiner. “I love forensics,” she said. “Absolutely fascinating.”
\n\t
\n\tHawksford says she heard good things from friends about small class sizes at UW Bothell. Like many other transfer students, she also has work experience and plans to continue with her job to pay her way. She’s working in admissions in the emergency department at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
\n\t
\n\tOrientation isn't just for students. Dozens of parents were welcomed at a July 15 orientation at the North Creek Events Center. 足彩app哪个是正规的y heard about fiscal services, campus safety, housing options, academics and other resources, such as the career center, for their children.
\n\t
\n\t“It’s a big transition for family members as well,” Newman said.<\/p>

\n\tAmong the parents at the orientation was Susan Smith of Stanwood, right, whose daughter Sarah is a fourth-generation Husky. “She has always been passionate about it,” Smith said.<\/p>\n\n\tShe’s interested in marketing and sales and is aiming for an MBA. “She is very jazzed about the smaller class sizes,” Smith said. “I think that’s a huge plus for Bothell.”
\n\t
\n\tWith so many orientation sessions, Newman gives a version of the same introduction speech over and over. For the parents, she says, “You are now all members of our Husky community.” To the students she says, “You have arrived.”\n\n\n
