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
- 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 students will participate in a two-day, overnight program called SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising & Registration). This program occurs during the month of June and students can select 1 of 4 sessions to attend. SOAR will allow you the opportunity to meet other new students, student leaders, faculty and staff, acclimate you to campus and finalize your fall class schedule. All first-year students are charged an orientation fee and it is reflected in your itemized tuition bill.
Please call (860) 465-0198 or email orientation@easternct.edu with any questions. We can't wait to welcome you to campus!
