And this year, Orientation will be partnered with another welcome-to-campus initiative -- Welcome Weekend. In past years, Cornell's Orientation has taken place over 10 days, and it was open only to new students. This year Lisa K'Bedford, Cornell assistant dean of students for new student programs, has shortened Orientation to six days and has added what is hoped will be a new tradition -- Welcome Weekend.

Welcome Weekend will offer a full slate of entertaining, non-alcohol activities. (August 19, 2003)
