According to the program's creators, Sylvia Hall, assistant director of personnel, and Susan Crane, a telecommunications employee who is interning in personnel, the program's goals are very appropriate for those who have already worked here for some time, as well as for new employees. We believe the knowledge gained will personally help them as individuals, but will also help them answer questions posed by visitors to campus.
Balloons mark the entrance to the room where the half-day program is held.
Participants in the orientation are greeted by Hall and Crane, each wearing green blazers. A continental breakfast prepared by Marriott staff awaits. After the true-false quiz, the answers are reviewed. Hall and Crane then share duties as they take attendees through the remainder of the orientation. Highlights include a discussion about Binghamton's excellent reputation, a viewing of a brief video about the University and a discussion of why students choose to enroll here.
