Reed College Orientation 2013

Schedules

The tentative schedules we’ve provided here give you an idea of what to expect during New Reedie Orientation. Between now and when you arrive on campus, sessions may shift and new activities will be added, so refer to the paper schedule you will receive at Orientation check-in for the final details. For now, enjoy getting an idea of what’s to come.

In addition to the general Orientation schedule that’s for all New Reedies, we’ve also provided schedule information for those of you who will check in early for odyssey trips and information specific to transfer students, nontraditional students, and students living off campus.

Throughout the schedule section, items marked as (PO) indicate programs specifically targeted to parents; items marked (GO) indicate programs that are generally obligatory for students.

Residence Hall Community Meetings and Dinners (GO)

Talk to your HA to find out what time you will be having a final dinner and meeting before classes begin. You will first get a chance to meet your resident director as an area group. Then you will meet as individual communities. Living in a community governed by the Honor Principle requires understanding, cooperation, and communication. At this meeting, your residential community will lay the groundwork for how your residence hall will deal with loud music, shared bathrooms, and other challenges of group living. Your HA will have some topics prepared, but this is the time to discuss what you expect from the other members of your community.
