Popis: Orientation programs beyond a single experience are useful for the creation of peer relationships, development of college student identity, and fostering a connection to the college (Soria, Lingren Clark, & Coffin Koch, 2013). In the case of international students, Olivas and Li (2006) recommend that these programs address cultural factors and the demands of the U.S. education system and promote campus services. The purpose of the article is to describe a college orientation course for international students and to examine feedback from course participants in order to identify potential changes to content and delivery for improved outcomes.
