"Orientation was one of the best experiences I have had at BGSU. Not only did I get to interact with incoming new students,
but I made some best friends on the Orientation Staff. At the end of Orientation, you realize that not only have you helped
first-year students adjust to college life, but you have also learned so much about yourself."
