Student orientation sessions are Relay’s first opportunity to engage with enrolled students and welcome them to the institution. Orientation sessions help students to understand Relay's mission, provide an overview of our curriculum, and prepare students to both be successful at Relay and to serve their PK–12 students. The goals of Relay’s orientation sessions are to ensure that all students (a) feel welcome and affirmed at the institution, (b) know and feel welcomed and prepared to contribute to the Relay community, (c) understand their path to successful completion of their academic program, (d) understand the institution’s policies, and (e) identify the support systems and structures within Relay.
