UNM hosts comprehensive success presentation for incoming freshmen

The University of New Mexico Dean of Students Office will host “Making College Count Freshman Orientation” for incoming freshmen Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. in Woodward 101 on the UNM campus.

The free orientation will be delivered on campuses nationwide to more than 100,000 college freshmen during the fall semester.

The student-interactive presentation is designed to complement the college preparatory efforts of orientation staff, professors and administrators. The program provides students with comprehensive information on transitional issues such as time management, study skills and goal-setting as well as ways to maximize opportunities upon graduation.

The program, provided at no cost to colleges and universities, is made possible through corporate partnerships with companies like Mentos, AT&T, Student Advantage, Head & Shoulders, Zest, Folgers and PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

Key content from the presentation can be found online at www.MakingItCount.com.
