Orientation week allowed new Tech students to become familiar with campus, learn about campus living, and make a few friends. The week was designed to get new students comfortable with their transition to college. A Tech education is not easy nor is it supposed to be.
College is just a sample of the real world and it is challenging.
Encourage them to get ahead in their classes early, seek out help if they need it, and talk to their professors. Returning students are not as wide-eyed as new students, but must still focus on their goals set for the new school year. The new school year will begin semesters and the opening of the Rozsa Center. This new building will accompany a week of dedication festivities free to students and the public in October. I'll give highlights in October, but you can find out more information in Tech Topics.
