Summer Orientation Sessions Call for Teamwork

Measurement and Evaluation’s SOS Team participated in seven orientation
sessions this summer, plus a final wrap-up orientation as school begins.
The SOS Team, led by Connie Williams, efficiently handled advising, test
administration, and test scoring to provide and coordinate needed services
for the incoming freshman class.
Each orientation week began with consultation sessions with students to advise them and enroll them for tests they can take for correct placement in foreign language, mathematics, chemistry, and writing classes. A computer proficiency test is also available. Another part of the team then administered the scheduled tests, followed by fast Scantron scoring back at the Measurement and Evaluation Center offices. The group could thus provide students with results quickly and efficiently while they were still on campus.
