First and Second Year Enrichment

Presents

Developing A Community of Intellectuals

(January 8-12, 2020)

Welcome first year students to Miles College. We are here to assist you in your transition

to help ensure that you succeed in your endeavors. We will help you cultivate a sense of

belonging. Miles College motivates and directs its students to seek holistic development

that leads to intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and service-oriented lives.

The Miles College community will educate you to be achievers. The Orientation program

is the beginning of this education; you will be engaged in informative and structured

sessions. Orientation will familiarize you with the enriching and exciting world of our

College. “The future is not a gift, it is an achievement” - Robert F. Kennedy, former

Attorney General and Senator, United States.

This schedule has the information you need to know for Orientation. We are here to

answer your questions. Please refer to your Orientation schedule. An involved student

equals a successful student; get involved to enrich your learning while you are at Miles

College.

It’s a New Day at Miles!
