Consider Campus Companion for Transfer Orientation Programs
Jennifer Hurd's new student guide is a great choice for an abbreviated orientation program for transfer students entering in the spring semester. These students are particularly vulnerable to loneliness and isolation. Coming to a new campus in mid-year is hard, so institutions should consider doing everything possible to help these transfer students feel welcome. Hurd's text provides structure to a program and would also provide consistency to a fall program that already uses this text. Even if the orientation program is shorter, the text can be a wonderful resource to students.
Join us for two days of stimulating presentations under the neon lights of Las Vegas where you can meet Jennifer Hurd and other nationally known authors. Hurd, Houghton Mifflin's Program Manager for College Survival, coordinates workshops for clients all across the country.
