University-Wide Orientation
The University-Wide Orientation is an event held for all freshmen of Silliman University as a welcome and also as a knowledge pool for new students to adjust and know their new university better. This was held on September 11 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Luce Auditorium. All participants of this said activity are freshmen, as they are the target for orientations like this. The freshman roster also included me, a freshman at CCS.
The orientation discussed all things Silliman University, which spanned from who the administrators are down to the units that kept the university alive. The orientation also tackled the rights of every student and some general regulations of the university. This load of information surprised me since I thought at first that the orientation would only go over the general information of the university since our respective colleges do have us attend orientations of their own. The speakers for the topics were all heads of their units, which gave us very detailed ideas of their roles in the university, such as the church sect of the university or the Office of Student Services. It was because of these speakers that I immersed myself in their topics and discussions.
It was because of this activity that I was able to learn more about Silliman University, the services that I can avail of within the school, and also the opportunities that lie ahead for students here. This knowledge that I have earned during the orientation will surely help me navigate the university as one of its students. Because of the orientation, I will fully avail myself of the many things that the university has to offer, especially with things such as shows from the Luce Auditorium, the church services, and the student aid services of the school. The university-wide orientation is truly a beneficial experience for every freshman of the school since it serves as a very extensive introduction to their new school experience and environment.
Because of this activity, I am now more aware of the benefits that await me at Silliman University as well as the services that the university offers to its students.
