During this NODA Regional Conference, online orientation was shown to provide the best onboarding experiences for students and their families.  

 Recognizing the fatigue students experience after attending a two-day orientation event, it was time to focus on the total onboarding experience. Tabitha Dawes, Director of Eagle View Orientation and Family Programs at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), asked a fundamental question:  

If students leave orientation with 10% of what you said and 100% of how you made them feel, how could students come to campus more prepared with better questions?
