at the 2004 Native American Orientation Retreat
Dear New Student,
Hello and congratulations! On behalf of the Native
American Orientation
Committee (NAOC) we would like to welcome you to Stanford
University.
As this year's Native American Community Coordinators, we are
working
hard to make your first week an enjoyable, informative and memorable
experienceby
providing several orientation activities for you. We hope that
you
will attend these community events before the official school year
begins.
As older students, we look back on our New Student
Orientation experiences
and remember the fun activities that were planned--and valuable
information
that was provided--to make Stanford feel less intimidating and more
like
a new home. Your orientation experience will be the same; this
year's
orientation committee will do its best to make your transition into
college
easier.
We strongly encourage you to attend the events planned
for you as a
new American Indian, Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian student at
Stanford
University. There will be many opportunities, starting with the Stanford
Native Immersion Program which is a week-long cultural
transition,
community building and leadership development program.
