รศรรสำฦต to host a virtual orientation for incoming freshmen

 

Incoming freshmen at รศรรสำฦต are invited to participate in a virtual summer orientation for new students known as Cardinal Commit.

“Students who participate in Cardinal Commit will be armed with information and tools they need to be successful in college from the very beginning,” said Tonya Douthitt, coordinator of Enrollment Services. “It is important for all new Cardinals to participate in one of the two Cardinal Commits offered.”

This year, students will experience Cardinal Commit in a virtual environment in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19.

“We will have a live webinar for Cardinal Commit,” she said. “It’s so important for us to continue providing the information students typically get during the live Cardinal Commit events. This orientation will make the transition for our new students as smooth and successful as possible.”
