It is not uncommon for students to feel displaced, uncomfortable and homesick, particularly during their first semester. The Journal of College Orientation and Transition, edited by Bonita Jacobs,WCU's vice chancellor of student affairs, deals with the problems that can crop up during a student's first year at college. The Journal, which had been on hiatus since 1986, will be distributed to Orientation and Transition officials at 1500 institutions throughout the U.S. The Journal of College Orientation and Transition deals with the problems encountered by both incoming freshmen and orientation officials. Issues discussed include the integration of stratified campus populations, benchmarking orientation programs and the role of student affairs in the orientation process. Although couched in technical terminology, the publication is well-written by members of the orientation community. According to Jacobs, it is not only incoming freshmen that can have problems getting used to campus life. Transfer students, during their first semester at a new institution, often have lower grades than same-year students who have been at the school longer. These students may be dealing with the same issues of transition that incoming freshmen encounter. Dr. Bonita Jacobs. Photo by Seth Sams. Jacobs, who wrote the editorial for the first edition of this journal, states,"Studies show that students who are involved in at least one activity have a greatly increased possibility of retention." It's true that when you're involved in activities you tend to be more productive than when you spend your day planted in front of the TV. Involvement will also kill the boredom that so many students complain about. Vincent Tinto, nationally renowned expert on campus environment and orientation, will be visiting campus in the spring. For more information on times and places, contact the Office of Student Development at 227-7234. The Journal of Orientation and Transition will be released on a semi-annual basis; the next issue is due out in March.
