Start Today
Orientation is a time for new students to meet each other and build a sense of belonging within our community. Maybe where you start isn't where you end up. In fact, we hope not. But to start you in the right direction—yours—take these opportunities to reflect and interact with your fellow new students.
Howard Thurman said
The Search for Common Ground is a two-fold journey
Dr. Howard Thurman believed the first step in The Search is one of personal self-exploration — when you can go deep down inside yourself, really know who you are and are truly secure in who you are, then you can find yourself in every other human being. The second step of that journey is that need we all feel as humans to be with others — the desire to belong, to be a part of something — a group, a community.
