To help her adjust smoothly to college life, each entering traditional-age student is assigned a faculty advisor. Advisors acquaint students with the aims and ideals of Immaculata and guide the new Immaculatans in their efforts to attain these. In addition, upperclassmen, designated as Mac Mentors, meet with groups of freshmen regularly during the year to aid the new students in their transition to college life and in their integration into the Immaculata community. A fall orientation program introduces new students to the academic and student life aspects of the college and provides structured opportunities for these students to meet and interact with faculty, staff, and other students. Orientation for continuing education students, in both day and evening classes, is handled by the Continuing Education Office.
Departmental advisors are available for matriculated adult students.
In educating the entire person, a college must rely on more than the classroom. The cultural atmosphere, the vitality of student life, the values and attitudes shared by the students all these intangible, varied aspects of college life contribute to the development of the whole person. Cultural Opportunities Students at Immaculata may participate in cultural activities both on campus and in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, a center for cultural, historic, entertainment, and educational resources. Cultural events, lectures, and exhibits are planned throughout the year by various campus organizations. The Immaculata College Chorale presents joint concerts with several university men's glee clubs.
