OverviewOn Campus approaches the topic, college orientation, respectful of the fact that for students, college represents an enormous investment of time and money, and for faculty, an understanding that they must feel well-prepared to teach content that is not discipline-specific. The mission of On Campus is to provide students with an opportunity (1) to experience and develop knowledge, behaviors and attitudes that promote successful college study and positive campus experiences, and (2) to appreciate multiple perspectives that reflect intellectual and cultural diversity within and beyond college. Students learn skills and strategies necessary to make informed choices, to understand their responsibilities for academic success, and to become independent, motivated learners.
