New Student Orientation was a great success. We revamped the NSO week to include two new sessions focusing on community building, planned and delivered by students Bree Bacon and Wrenn Yennie, faculty member Peter Shaw, and several dozen highly competent student, faculty and staff facilitators.
The new students were organized into groups selected to ensure diversity of program, homeland and language. One group activity involved expressing a common identity through the creation of group logos. Students also participated in a treasure hunt that helped to familiarize them with the campus and its people and services.
The feedback from new students, facilitators and the MIIS community has been quite positive. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!
