New Student and Sophomore Programs Mission
The mission of New Student and Sophomore Programs is to support the students and families of Clemson University through the facilitation of transition and retention programs for the first two years of the undergraduate experience.
To achieve this mission our office works collaboratively with academic affairs staff, faculty, and various offices across campus to provide engaging learning opportunities that foster student success.
Student Learning Outcomes
Student affairs professionals have a particular responsibility for ensuring that our campus is a true learning community committed to providing "transformative" educational experiences for all students. The Clemson University Division of Student Affairs has adopted four student learning outcomes:
- Self-Knowledge
- Leadership and Communication
- Social Responsibility
- Life Skills Application
Each of the departments within the Division of Student Affairs has identified specific student learning outcomes to address during the 2008-2009 academic year. The student learning outcome(s) for New Student and Sophomore Programs are:
As a result of taking EDC 390, Skills for Student Leaders, Orientation Ambassadors will be able to develop and articulate a group purpose (mission) and outcomes (goals) for new student orientation programs. This will be evidenced by the presentation of a group mission statement and strategic goals by all Orientation Ambassadors before the end of the spring 2009 semester.
