2009 Begins!

A new year, the same great coordinators :)

Michelle and I are back in action this year, ready to create another amazing Orientation Weekend for George Fox. Last year was an exciting year, with a fantastic staff and a boisterous incoming class. These students made a great addition to our campus. It makes me excited to see who all of the new students will be.

Two new things have changed in planning this year. First, we have a new director - Meredith Dougherty! She has worked with us at Fox in the past and is an amazing addition to the Orientation Program. We look forward to her insight and what is to come from working with her his year. The second is that Michelle has a new last name - Bornfleth. I'll let her give the details on that one however...

We officially started planning for Orientation on June 1st. Some of you incoming students may have already attended Genesis in May, where you would have met Michelle. The rest of you will meet the two of us during your Genesis events in June or July. Please come up to us and introduce yourself. We'd love to get to know you by name and face put together :)

Meetings have begun, staff are being contacted, the logo is made and ready. Currently, the Orientation Newsletter that is sent out to incoming students mid-July is about to be created. Current staff and upperclassmen are writing personal articles to you students, hoping to give you some insight as to what we are about here at Fox and what you might expect as you arrive.

We are really looking forward to this new group of students. And everyday Michelle and I work towards making Orientation even better than the last year. Even down to the nitty gritty details like signage and event length. We want to make this the best and smoothest event so you students can simply enjoy the weekend and transition into your new home.

Best of luck during June. Enjoy some sunshine and rest after graduation has been completed for you seniors. A new chapter has begun...
