We have seen a consistent rate of growth in the past five years, and with our nursing program and the special summer workshops and programs, we expect 1975 .to top all previous summer enrollments," he continued. Two Early Orientation sessions have also been planned for the summer. The dates for the thre,e-day sessions are June 22-24 and July 20-22. The ,Early Orientation program is designed to provide incoming freshmen with an opportunity to be counseled, plan their fall schedule and get acquainted with the Harding campus.
