Headed to Albany
Kenny Bernstein and Jonathan Matza, both from Hewlett and Nicole Helicher, of Cedarhurst, are two of the incoming freshmen at the University of Albany that will be part of the class of 2021.
Between June 26 and Aug. 24, the newest Great Danes and their families took part in freshmen orientation, which offers new students an opportunity to get to know other each other and discover academic and campus life opportunities on campus.
During the orientation, students meet with their academic advisor and complete their course registration. Incoming freshmen also meet with current UAlbany students, faculty, and other staff members who assist students and families with their college transition.
Complete orientation participation is required for all new degree-seeking undergraduate students.
