Today, at Fordham's Rose Hill campus, just over 190 orientation leaders and captains greeted the incoming freshman class. From the blaring music and excited shouts I can hear from my window, it sounds as though the New Student Orientation has gotten off to a great start! Among the newest rams who arrived at Fordham today are international students from all around the world. Greeted by the smiles and shouts of orientation leaders calling their names, every one of them was sure to feel welcome in their new home after many hours of traveling. Teams of representatives were set up all over campus to help their newest peers get situated at Fordham.
At Alumni Court South, orientation leaders grab bags and boxes as new students move in.
In front of Jogues Hall, a few Resident Assistants help freshmen to check in.
Inside the McGinley Student Center, one of Fordham's Emergency Medical Technicians respresents FUEMS by offering first aid kits to new students.
A little further down, members of the Tiger Team at IT answer questions regarding internet access and technology on campus.
Without a doubt, very few schools can compare to Fordham when it comes to making students feel welcome on campus. I remember the day I moved in; there were so many people to greet me and make my transition easier. The air of openness at the university is the reason I chose to enroll at Fordham, and I haven't regretted it once.
