Jarvis Holds Induction Ceremony for
First-Year
College Students
On Thursday, August 26, Jarvis Christian College
held a special program where students were featured and participated in an
induction ceremony that was a first for the College. The program, titled,
“First-Year Experience,” was specifically designated for freshmen students
in order to assist them in the transition from high school to college.
College officials felt that such a program was necessary because many times,
first-year college students have problems adjusting to college life and due
to the fact that some are away from home for the first time in their life,
they occasionally become frustrated and have a hard time coping. The program
is designed to address those issues and help guide a new student on his of
her road to success.
The “First-Year Experience” program will consist of group leaders who will
guide students throughout the year with helpful measures such as time
management, study skills, counseling, interpersonal communication, and
provide a listening forum whereby group leaders can encourage a student on
an issue before it become a problem. This program will serve as a catalyst
in helping to make sure that no students will get so disappointed that he or
she would want to drop out of school.
Dr. Sebetha Jenkins, president of Jarvis Christian College, welcomed the
students and challenged them to reach for the stars and become active on
campus and in the community. She stated, “Failure is not an option. At
Jarvis Christian College, we want each of you to do well and succeed not
only in college but also in life. I want you to start today by envisioning
what you want to do with your life. Go forward with your God-given talents,
think boldly and be successful as you reach for the stars.”
President Jenkins, Dr. Johnnye Jones, vice president for Academic Affairs,
and other faculty members conducted the induction ceremony with the awarding
of keys to 174 inductees. The key represented and symbolized the awarding of
keys for the education for life. President Jenkins shook hands and placed
the key around the neck of each recipient as their name was called. |
