ORIENTATION AND
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT We seek to create a foundation of success for all students as they transition to Christopher Newport and provide support throughout their time as a Captain. In addition to the planning and implementation of our formal orientation programs, we are here to support your students as they find community on campus through engagement opportunities. Follow us on social media to learn about all the programs and opportunities specific to your student’s class year or campus in general. These accounts will follow your student from orientation through commencement with information pertaining to where they are in their CNU experience. Plus, you may even see your student there!
Why should my student get involved? Encouraging your student to get involved can lead to: • New friends and a network of connections • The development of skills that future employers find valuable • Feeling like a part of the greater community. • Personal growth and leadership development Whether through participation in a student organization, an on-campus job, attendance at events, research with faculty, or internships and volunteer opportunities in the community, involvement can take many forms. Their time here is the perfect learning laboratory to try new things and figure out where their passion lies. While taking classes in the liberal learning core curriculum helps them explore their academic pursuits, involvement outside of the classroom can help them put this new learning into practice.
