Freshmen Orientation – Friday the 13th – June 13, 2008

So it’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged. There have certainly been a number of reasons for that, but that’s in the past and I’m glad to be back. Blogging is something I enjoy, so I’m going to give this another run.

On Friday the 13th, 2008 we had our first Freshmen Orientation of the year here at UIS. Each summer the incoming freshmen class returns to the UIS campus probably for the first time since their Preview Day visit, or another campus tour. On the Orientation day, the students hear a little more about the services we offer and more importantly, get registered for classes and take that all important I-Card photo.

I get the privilege of operating the camera during the traditional freshmen video. The video always gets shown at the Late Night Breakfast during finals week and that years seniors get to reminisce about what their friends and themselves said four years prior. I also get to take photos for our publications and for various websites, etc.

Here are some of the shots.
