EC Connection: August 17-20, 2019
Apply now for this special opportunity! EC Connection is a pre-orientation program designed to support incoming first year and transfer students with their transition to Elmhurst College. Specifically, this program will enhance intercultural awareness and appreciation among its participants by providing resources to successfully navigate the Elmhurst community, both inside and outside of the classroom. Although EC Connection is open to all undergraduate students, we highly encourage historically underrepresented populations to apply. This includes, but is not limited to; students of color, students who identify as LGBTQIA+, first-generation college students, differently abled students, and international students.
Students who participate in EC Connection will:
Learn about academic and co-curricular resources at the college
Build a community among other incoming students
Engage in intercultural dialogue and identity exploration
This pre-orientation is FREE and by applying to be a participant in the program, you agree to attend all scheduled programs, socials, and events.
For more information, contact Jasmin Robinson, Director of Diversity and Inclusion Programs, at ecconnection@elmhurst.edu .
