ONE OUT OF SIX STUDENTS will drop out of school before the start of their second semester. This is why Orientation and Welcome Week programs are the front lines of student engagement and retention. Get A Life Outside The Classroom gets the message to new students about the importance of getting involved and being engaged, what the college experience really looks like, and how to be a successful college student from day one! But it’s not just for orientation: this seminar is about making the most of your college experience and can be customized and relevant for any student audience.

Not just preparing for the year, but Get A Life also includes high-energy, low-cheesy, and totally relevant ice breakers!

Colleges and universities have existed for more than 375 years, and students are still graduating with no clear direction or path in life. College is designed to provide students with opportunities to create the life of their dreams, so kick it off with this seminar experience designed to show students how to make the most of college to get the most from life. Any time is a good time to Get A Life…Outside The Classroom!

NOTE: We can also turn this into Orientation Leader Training.
