Half-Day Orientation Sessions:

In 2024, we changed our new student orientation format to five, half-day sessions. This allowed us to complete orientation in a shorter number of days and eliminate presentations which were not relevant to all guests. The new format relied heavily upon two general sessions, a program tour and “on your own” discussions with staff in and around Market 65. Since this was our first run at a new format, we really want to know what you thought and build upon the things that worked well.
