ATU Orientation Leaders Step Up to Aid Newcomers

ATU Freshman Orientation Leaders Fall 2024
The fall 2024 Arkansas Tech University student orientation leadership team took a break for this fun photo on the steps of Ross Pendergraft Library and Technology Center.

Seventy-six Arkansas Tech University students welcomed new students to the institution during orientation for the fall 2024 semester.

Orientation for first-year students took place Aug. 17-20. The annual program seeks to ease the transition from high school to college student by helping new students become more familiar with campus, learn about involvement opportunities, gain information about campus resources, meet their fellow new students and connect with current student leaders.
