Railsplitter 101

College is new and exciting, but it can be overwhelming to figure out everything you need to know in your first year. The Office of Orientation & Transition Programs is here to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey! Campus resources serve as valuable tools to help you be successful. Be sure to take advantage of opportunities to make the most of your college experience.

 

Lincoln's Lounge

You will attend your first Lincoln's Lounge at Welcome Weekend. Lincoln's Lounges are social events that occur on Thursday nights at 9 PM throughout the year in the Student Center Lobby. These events serve as a well-deserved break from the week and can be a great way to kick start your weekend. The topic and activities are different each time and therefore you will want to be the first to arrive to see what is in store!

Rising Star Program

Rising Stars are new students identified by faculty, staff, and student leaders who have demonstrated leadership qualities. If you are nominated as a Rising Star, you are invited to a Rising Star dinner where you will enjoy an evening with faculty, staff, and students to gain a better insight about the leadership opportunities available at LMU!

UACT 100

UACT is an introductory course that is required for all first-year students. It is a seminar-style class that covers topics relevant to college life such as study skills, money management, critical thinking, and diversity. This class is meant to be a landing base for students and allows them to connect with a Lincoln Ambassador, a faculty or staff instructor, and other first-year students as they navigate their first semester of college. UACT instructors are faculty or staff members who can serve as resources for new students as well as help direct class sessions with the help of their Lincoln Ambassador.UACT 100
