Staging Transitional Experiences with Online Orientation
University of California, Merced
as presented at the 2019 NASPA Conference
At NASPA 2019, James Barnes, Assoc. Dir. Learning Support & Engagement and Dulcemaria Anaya, Coord., New Student Orientation at UC Merced discuss how new students engage in a two-part and progressive orientation strategy, made possible with Advantage Orientation.
It starts with Readiness, when students complete an online pre-orientation upon admission. Students engage in introductory content and become more prepared to enter the next stage and attend an on-campus event.
Request the recording to learn how UC Merced's creative approach enabled them to develop personalized, interactive and video-rich content that is both practical and entertaining. This session includes an open discussion and demonstration, followed by questions and answers.
