New Student Outdoor Programs 2009
Seagull X-perience June
26th-June 29th
The transition from high
school to college can be tricky and a bit unnerving, but it can
also be fun! Experience what Salisbury University has to offer
and meet other new students with the brand new
Seagull X-perience
sponsored by the
Student Government Association. Students will also have the
opportunity to opt for their Preview orientation day to be on
Friday June 26. This way they are able to come to campus for the
Preview session in the morning and extend their visit starting
that afternoon by participating in Seagull X-perience. Students
will stay on campus in a residence hall for four days and three
nights while having the time of their lives. The Friday Preview
day is not mandatory, but it is strongly encouraged that
students take advantage of the day. A
volunteer group of two university staff members and ten peer
leaders will guide a group of 50 new students as they experience
Seagull Spirit and personal growth over the course of the
program. Students will learn about themselves and each other
through activities and fun designed just for them by fellow
Seagulls. The new Seagulls will learn how to manage their time,
get the ins and outs of real college life, build a strong and
trusting team, and find out how to become an involved student at
Salisbury University. Events include a midnight pep rally, day
trip to Ocean City, and the X-treme Seagull Challenge. For the
X-treme Seagull Challenge on the last full day, students will be
split into teams and compete against one another in a variety of
events for the chance to be named "Top Flock." Everyone
participates and works as a team in events that include easy to
moderate physical activity, some critical thinking, and, of
course, showing off school pride. Physical
demands are easy, and students will need to provide their own
hygiene products as well as sheets and pillows for the XL twin
beds in the residence hall. Food, housing, supplies, and a team
shirt for the X-treme Seagull Challenge are provided through the
cost of the program and the SGA.
