The Whiting School of Engineering last week welcomed 499 incoming first-year and transfer students with its inaugural "Meet the Flock" orientation program.
The event connected new students with faculty mentors, academic advisers, and peers, forming a supportive network for their academic journey. More than 75 faculty members took part.
Highlights included a "Hat's Off!" engineering design challenge, where students created hats from plastic cups, and "Your Life Project" sessions focused on setting educational and social goals.
"An invitation to join our community of engineers, 'Meet the Flock' provides our students with connections with our faculty who will serve as their mentors as they navigate their college journey and beyond," said Michael Falk, vice dean for undergraduate academic affairs and professor of materials science and engineering.
