The new cohort of four students recently attended Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR) and Aggies Elevated orientation at Utah State University’s Logan campus.
The four students had the opportunity to spend the night in the LLC, eat at the Marketplace, grab some swag at the Campus Store, participate in Aggie Games on the Quad and score some Aggie Ice Cream. There were serious moments, too, as they (and their parents) attended information sessions, learned more about the registration process, the two-year course of study and the MyCLIMB person-centered planning process.
The four students are keeping busy this summer reading the USU Common Literature Experience book, The Emerald Mile, and meeting weekly with Bodily to discuss it. The students will take the pre-semester Connections class and need to be prepared for class with their first college writing assignment.
