Learning Outcomes for SUNY Cortland

It is our hope that through the development and participation of our Orientation program and Transition seminar that the institution will:

• Understand the developmental and demographic needs and concerns of new students

• Build connections and relationships with various offices and departments across campus

• Reflect on our ability to communicate effectively with parents and students

• Evaluate the effectiveness of our program through a formal evaluation process

• Continue to create an intentional connection between summer Orientation and the beginning of the fall semester

• Develop and increase an awareness of the importance of Orientation to the entire campus community

• Evaluate how the campus community is perceiving Orientation
