First Year Students Arrive On Campus


Dr. Joy Fehr taught UNIV101 in the Ad Building Chapel every morning
of CUE Quest week to a class of around 120 first-year students.
CUC's first-year students arrived on campus a week before Registration Day for a special campus orientation program called CUE Quest.  The CUE stands for Complete University Education and that is exactly what the week was.  Every morning students took UNIV101 a course taught by Dr. Joy Fehr, vice president for academic administration, designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive at a university.  Afternoons were spent completing registration and getting fully acquainted with the campus, its services and programs.

A special banquet was held Monday evening at which first year students met the faculty.  Students were seated at tables based on their major which also gave them the opportunity to meet other students in their program. CUE 
Quest week ended with a two-day camp out at Camp Silversides on the shore of Gull Lake.  "Spending the weekend together is a great way for our first year students to get to know each other and bond," said Stacy Hunter, vice president for student services.

More than 120 first year students gathered in the cafeteria to meet their major professors and others taking the
same program.
