Leadership Learning for Life® – Orientation Packet

Many students and parents find a summer event more convenient. This time is especially dedicated to helping students transition, get class schedules early, request roommates, and learn more about what to expect in the fall.

We highly encourage residential or commuting students (and their parents) to attend. Past participants have found this experience very beneficial. Statistically, students who attend SOAR persist to their second year at a higher rate than students who do not attend.

This year’s event is particularly important as we communicate health and sanitation plans for our on-campus community.

Your registration helps us tremendously in preparing a meaningful experience for you. We are able to establish which team you will be on, ensure proper breakout rooms, and plan how many student and staff members are needed to personalize your time with us. Early registration is particularly important this year so that we can mail your team T-shirt in time to wear it for the event! Please register here.

Yes! Students and/or parents must do the following:

• Complete the Enrollment Agreement Form and pay the Enrollment Deposit
• Set up your login to access the MyRegent system. This is very important. Students received instructions in an email from our IT department. Students should contact the Help Desk at 757.352.4076 for assistance.
• Register for the event. It is very important that we know who is coming! Early registration is particularly important this year, as it will help us get your shirt mailed to you in time for the event! Students should register themselves and their guests here.
• Think of questions to ask. This event is for you! Transitioning to a university experience is both rewarding and challenging. Our goal is to help you get the most out of your experience.

Don’t worry. Both a few days before, and the day of the event, you will receive an email providing instructions for your participation. We will also post a link at the top of this page for your convenience.

Those who register by June 10 will receive a team shirt and other goodies in the mail before the event! Be sure to wear it to support your team and show your school spirit! (Hint – there will be prizes.) If you do not receive a team shirt for this event, get creative with our school colors, blue and green.

You may use your phone, laptop or tablet, whether PC or Mac, just as you would to explore the internet or participate in video conferencing.
