Welcome to the Freshman Orientation Collaboration Page for Senior Interns

The Bonner Foundation requires that an orientation be held each year for all incoming Bonner Scholars/Leaders to build community among the Bonners, orient them to the program and its requirements, and begin preparing them for their service and other responsibilities. Ideally, this orientation should be scheduled to occur prior to the orientation events for the rest of the incoming first year students.

Goals

• providing a genuine welcome;
• building a spirit of support and teamwork with other Bonners;
• fostering positive perceptions about the program;
• confirming the student’s decision to join the program;
• introducing fundamental program expectations and processes that each new Bonner Scholar/Leader should know; and
• putting Bonners at ease about the new challenges of college and service.

Here, we want you to share ideas you have for the four categories.
