WELCOME TO COE COLLEGE! We are thrilled to have you as part of our community.

New Student Orientation is designed to help you make a smooth transition into life as a Kohawk. You will learn where to find what you need and how to manage all of the small details of student life on a residential campus. You will not find it difficult to learn your way around campus, to register for classes and (for those who are living on campus) to settle into the residence halls.

But there are two dimensions of orientation that are even more important to us. First, we want to help our whole community understand and embrace Coe’s values: academic excellence, personal integrity and responsibility and a civil, inclusive campus climate. Second, we want to help you make connections with people — fellow students, faculty and staff. We know you need information about policies and practices, but in the long run, you will find that human relationships matter the most. So we encourage you to ask questions and to tell us OTHER IMPORTANT NAMES about yourself. We want to get to know you, and we want you to feel at home here. Welcome once again, and I look Erik Albinson Vice President for Student Development forward to seeing you around campus. David Hayes Vice President for Advancement Tom Hicks Dean of Students Dave McInally Larry Lee President Vice President for Facilities & Operations Paula O'Loughlin Provost and Dean of the Faculty Julie Staker Vice President for Admission & Marketing Mike White Executive Vice President

1 FIRST-YEAR Essentials WELCOME TO ORIENTATION Orientation is a whirlwind of moving in, meeting new people, finding classes and joining the Kohawk family. We know you will arrive to campus in August with a lot of different feelings: apprehension, uncertainty and excitement. Our hope is that orientation will calm your nerves and strengthen your excitement. It will provide you opportunities to meet your classmates, your professors and the many Coe community members who will support you over the next four years...and you might even meet some of your best friends, too! You will ring the bell on August 18, officially starting your time at Coe College. Orientation will begin to introduce you to the many opportunities available during your time here at Coe, but it is up to you to make the most of it before you ring the bell again on graduation day. Coe makes it possible. You make it happen.

CAPS (COLLEGE ADJUSTMENT PEERS) College Adjustment Peers, or CAPs, are here to help with your transition to your new home at Coe for the next four years. Each CAP is assigned to a First-Year Seminar (FYS) class, with whom you’ll spend a lot of time throughout your first term at Coe. The CAPs' job starts before you get here. You will receive emails (check your Coe email) over the summer. You will meet them on your first day of orientation. They will even help you move in, if you need them to! They want to ensure your transition to college is an easy one because they remember what it was like... crazy, exciting and scary! They are here to help. All CAPs have been chosen to be CAPs because they are successful students, very involved on campus and enjoy working with new students. Their job is to make your transition to Coe as stress-free as possible! Their goal for Orientation is for everyone to have fun and meet a lot of new people. Once classes begin they will be checking in with you periodically. There will be study groups, fun activities and various off-campus opportunities through your CAP group and First-Year Experience. They are looking forward to welcoming you to the Coe family!
