Day on Campus gives students
first view of University setting
By Ian Clift
Summer reporter
Day on Campus, a University-wide introduction for
incoming students, begins Tuesday.
Al Hefner, assistant director of admissions, said,
"It's the opportunity for the Purdue community to welcome our incoming
students starting in the fall."
"We start at their academic school at 7:45 in the
morning and then the rest of the day they can plan based on their priorities,"
said Hefner.
The three required portions of Day on Campus are
meeting with advisers to get ready for fall course work, getting a Purdue
ID card and establishing a computer account through the Purdue University
Computing Center.
Students can earn free credit toward their degrees
by taking exams in different academic subjects during their Day on Campus.
Students planning to live in residence halls can gain information about
services available to them and find out their roommate's names.
There are extra curricular activities to get involved
in, said Hefner. ROTC, Purdue Musical Organizations, Band, the Black
Cultural Center and student services will have information available
to those interested.
"There has been a summer program for at least thirty
years," said Hefner, who attended his Day on Campus in 1968. The program
is essentially the same for everyone but there are some requirements
that can change.
Mike Sanders, director of undergraduate programs
for the School of Management said of his school's events, "We start
off with a general welcome to the school, we have a math screening exam,
then we go off to individual advisers and register for both fall and
spring semesters."
Sanders said Day on Campus is the best time to
register for classes because the University is planning for students
and family to be on campus.
