You're invited to SOAR!
The Orientation program helps new students become familiar with Eastern while learning strategies for ensuring their academic and social success. During orientation, students will:
- Meet other incoming students and are introduced to current student leaders
- Get to know the faculty and staff
- Acclimate to campus
- Become familiar with on-campus services and resources
- Prepare for academic advisement, registration and other aspects of course selection
- Learn about Eastern’s culture of respect, and the importance of civility, inclusion and minimizing risky behaviors
Additionally, the Orientation program will:
- Create a welcoming environment that builds a sense of community
- Encourage students to take responsibility for their own growth and development by getting involved on campus
First-year and Transfer students will participate in a one day program called SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising & Registration).
SOAR will allow you the opportunity to meet other new students, student leaders, faculty and staff, acclimate you to campus and finalize your spring class schedule. All first-year students are charged an orientation fee and it is reflected in your itemized tuition bill.
Please call (860) 465-0036 or contact Amy Carlsen at carlsena@easternct.edu with any questions regarding your registration. We can't wait to welcome you to campus!
