With the arrival of new students Friday, Aug. 22, Cornell University's Orientation 2003 shifts into high gear, with campuswide activities continuing through Wednesday, Aug. 27. 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. This new initiative will take place over five days -- Aug. 27-31 -- and will be open to all new and returning Cornell students. Welcome Weekend will offer a full slate of entertaining, non-alcohol activities. (August 19, 2003)
