Orientation focuses on unity of colleges


Students from all six MUSC colleges celebrate the start of fall semester in the College of Health Professions' atrium, enjoying lunch and ice cream served by MUSC’s college deans. They also visited with representatives from 17 of Education and Student Life's programs and services.

More than 450 MUSC students celebrated University Orientation 2010 on Aug. 23. The Education and Student Life (ESL) event featured the theme, Six Colleges—One University. The orientation, which was held in two sessions, took place at the Basic Science Building and the College of Health Professions.
 
Students were greeted by Darlene Shaw, Ph.D., ESL associate dean; Mark Sothmann, Ph.D., interim vice president for academic affairs and provost; Tyler Pierce, student government association president; and a team of other campus leaders and faculty.   The event featured the premiere of two videos, one that showcased MUSC and the other honoring the institution’s points of pride. Throughout the event, students reviewed orientation material by participating in MUSC’s version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” while others received door prizes (MUSC blankets, T-shirts, water bottles, etc.) from ticket drawings.
