SB 318-067: Extended Orientation Reform Act

WHEREAS, Extended Orientation is a permanent establishment of the College administration to help facilitate the freshman transition into the College environment;

WHEREAS, the current system of Extended Orientation is not optimal for freshman, interfering with schedules that at times make it more difficult to adapt to college life; and

WHEREAS, the messages that Extended Orientation programs would like to convey are diluted by placing extra stress upon freshman.

Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the Student Assembly of the College of William and Mary-

1. Supports a system of limiting extended orientation so that it ends before midterms.
2. Supports allowing students to independently schedule extended orientation sessions.
3. Charges the sponsors of this bill to discuss these changes to the Extended Orientation system with the Dean of Students Office as well as explore more ways to improve the current system by actively discussing viable alternatives with both the student body and the administration
