Description: The orientation program, properly conceived, must be reasonably brief, varied in content, and therapeutic in intent. It is not intended to supplant the protracted, solid study which is professional preparation. As distinguished from indoctrination, with which it is sometimes erroneously confused, orientation seeks to confront willing minds with realities in a manner designed to lessen tensions and anxieties. On the basis of language facility and general maturity, orientees are assigned to two-, four-, or eight-week programs. The four-week program is distinguished from its shorter and longer counterparts by its well-roundedness, flexibility, and personal touch. Although short in duration of time, the well-conceived and well-conducted orientation program is highly important in that it provides first impressions to the foreign student of the milieu in which he must live and learn until he returns home.
