In all of our event formats, we prioritizes your health and safety while also providing the opportunity to learn, engage, and prepare you to transition to William Peace University.

In addition, we have developed Engagement Opportunities that are delivered in-person and virtual with multiple dates that are also meant to get you acclimated to Pacer life. We are proud of our faculty, staff and student leaders for serving the WPU community in a new way and thank all of our campus partners for taking on the challenge of such a large virtual program.WPU has modified the New Student Orientation sessions that provide a focus on the success of all students as they transition to campus and join our community. Jeni Myers, First Year Orientation 2020 Student Coordinator | Class of ’21: Communications Major, Concentration in Public Relations, Minors in Anthropology and Marketing Thank you FYO 2020 for reminding me that, even though we may be scattered across the United States trying to connect, we are still connecting and we are still one Pacer Family!”
#WPU MOODLE PROFESSIONAL#
Working with a strong FYO team and wonderful professional staff members, we were still able to make an impact on the incoming Pacers of Class of 2024. “2020 has been a year that none of us were prepared for. Families can continue engaging with our campus by signing up for our Pacer Family newsletter. Families were also able to engage with a few of our dynamic Orientation Leaders to hear the perspectives of current students.
#WPU MOODLE HOW TO#
Families were given the opportunity to participate in live Q&A sessions regarding COVID-19, student accounts, housing, how to aid their students through this transition, safety on campus and more. The Family First Year Orientation program was also a one day experience from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Not only were students still excited, but they were also eager to get all the information needed to prepare for the fall semester”Īlyson Bishop, FYO Orientation Leader | Class of ’21: Education Dual Licensure Major, Minor in Psychology We as Orientation Leaders got to navigate the technology and truly make it an experience that students and their guests would remember. “Virtual orientation was definitely an amazing experience. Orientation leaders facilitated small group sessions and led virtual community-building activities to continue building a sense of belonging among all of our new students. Incoming Pacers were also able to connect with our 18 amazing Orientation Leaders and a student coordinator who participated in two weeks of virtual training in preparation for First Year Orientation. These offices included Financial Aid, Student Accounts, Residence Life & Housing, Campus Dining, The Wellness Center, Career Design, Diversity & Inclusion, Public Safety, the Center for Student Success, Academic Advising and Immersive Learning. Once the First Year Orientation sessions began, students participated in a one-day session meeting with WPU offices and asked questions that will help prepare them for their transition to college.

This allowed for new students to have a piece of Peace at home with them during the virtual sessions while building their Pacer Pride! To build excitement for The Student First Year Orientation experience, members of the Student Involvement and Residence Life and Housing team sent WPU swag boxes to incoming students.
