STRIPES Program Offers Freshmen Orientation

By April Onebane

Incoming freshmen will have the opportunity of participating in Louisiana State University’s annual STRIPES program in the weeks leading up to the fall semester. The program will include two sessions, one from Aug. 4-7, and another from Aug. 11-14.

Student Tigers Rallying, Interacting and Promoting Education and Service gives 250 incoming freshmen a chance to participate in activities that will help them maneuver from high school to college with ease. Interested students can register online at www.lsu.edu/stripes.

“The main goal of it is to teach the students the history and traditions of LSU so they can gain respect and appreciation for the University,” Event Coordinator Michael Melerine said, “and hopefully start to enjoy all the school can offer before they even attend their first class.”
