You will also be able to post on the orientation course wall and start meeting other students from your cohort.  The class is designed to provide freedom of thought and debate within an environment that informs students of Christian values and choices that reflect the University’s mission. The course provides meaningful transition for the graduate student to a new social as well as academic and spiritual environment at the graduate level.
