[ Orientation ]

First Year Students

Welcome to Elmhurst College!

Where are you from? Where are you going? Who will you be when you get there?

Elmhurst College will provide you with a variety of opportunities to prepare you for your career and a lifetime of professional achievement. Through various opportunities inside and outside of the classroom, you will be a part of experiences that will ultimately shape the person you become.  

Your first experience— Big Questions: What Will You Stand For?— is Elmhurst College’s required Orientation Program. Big Questions will assist you as you begin to explore your personal belief system, understand the power of serving others, begin the process of critical analysis, and recognize intercultural appreciation. Through this program, you will have the opportunity to become established in the Elmhurst College community and to begin developing their identity.

The information on this website will provide you with a brief overview of the exciting program we have planned. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (630) 617-5199, or email dcollado@elmhurst.edu. If you have any special needs that require particular attention or consideration, please contact me as well.

We look forward to seeing you on August 26, 2009!

Sincerely,
Desiree Collado
Assistant to the Dean/Director of Student Success
