Prof. Deb Periman, J.D., Legal Studies Program Coordinator, and Dr. Marny Rivera, Justice Undergraduate Program Coordinator, participated in the Fall 2014 College of Health (COH) freshman orientation pilot project on August 11. COH is the first college to experiment with a new type of orientation schedule for students.  Over 60 students attended the sessions which included presentations by COH departments, schools, and centers.

COH Dean Bill Hogan announced at the August 15 COH All-College Meeting that this innovative format for orientation will now serve as the model for other UAA colleges.
