New Student Orientation Learning Outcomes

Here at St. Olaf, your staff and faculty are working hard to ensure your orientation experience sets you up for success as an Ole.

The learning outcomes for New Student Orientation stem from our values as a St. Olaf community. Grouped into three focus areas, our learning outcomes describe what we are hoping you take away from this experience as the starting point from which to continue to build the knowledge and tools needed to be successful in and out of the classroom!
