Freshman Orientation
The first few days of freshman year lay the groundwork for a rich and intricate life outside of the classroom.They may begin with a seven-day hiking trip in the Catskills or Berkshires or a two-day retreat at a nearby summer camp. About a third of the class takes part in these programs, known as FOOT (Freshman Outdoor Orientation Trip) and Freshperson Conference. In addition to FOOT and Freshperson Conference, other pre-freshman programs include Cultural Connections (focus on diversity issues), Harvest (5-day work-stay at organic farms in Connecticut), and Orientation for International Studies. Even though their duration is brief, and students scatter in all directions once classes begin, many alumni of these orientation programs have reunions throughout college. The FOOT program has recently started an electronic listserve for alumni to share their most recent hiking adventures.
