New students learn about Clarke's services and programs, meet with faculty advisors, and have fun through a variety of social activities. Parents are also involved in a two-day program to learn about services and programs and have opportunities to meet faculty, administrators and staff. This helps parents to become a part of the community and feel more comfortable about having their son or daughter attend Clarke. Upperclass students are selected each year as Tuckpointers to work with new students and Parent Tuckpointers are selected to orient parents. Numerous positions are available to those who would like to work as Orientation Aides.
Applications are available during spring semester.
Non-traditional students are invited to an evening Orientation prior to the start of classes in the fall and spring semester.
