Seminar set to help freshmen transition

How to make the most of the college experience is the focus of today’s seminar “Making College Count.”

Making it Count Presentations will be holding a free seminar for all students at 7 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

This is the first year that the office of orientation will be sponsoring this presentation, said Kim Moock, director of orientation. Freshman are highly encouraged to come and learn general tips to help themselves do well in class, Moock said.

The value of work experience and internships will also be discussed, in addition to maximizing your skills while in college.

The program will also cover how to set personal goals, managing freedom away from home and using time management skills.

“The program will help new students maximize their skills, and make the most out of their college experience and education,” Moock said.

The presentation will include free giveaways and cookies. For more information about the seminar, please contact Moock at 581-8377.
