New Student Orientation – January 2012

New Student Orientation is designed to give all new and transfer students an introduction to Belhaven University – inside and outside the classroom.  The session will serve as the spring board for meeting student leaders, key administrators, and others that make up the Belhaven family.  Students will also have the opportunity to meet their academic advisor and make Belhaven their home!  The staff in the Office of Student Leadership is responsible for the planning and implementation of New Student Orientation.  Feel free to contact our office if you have questions (stleadership@belhaven.edu or 601.968.8990).  We look forward to seeing you on January 9!   

New Student Orientation is a mandatory session for all incoming freshmen and transfer students, and will take place on Monday, January 9, 2012, from 9:00am-10:30am in Barber Auditorium (located off of Peachtree Street) with sign-in beginning at 8:45am in the lobby area.
