Making A Smooth

TRANSITION

FRESHMAN! Whal is a freshman? A freshman is

more than just a first-year student. The word is

defined as “ a beginner or a novice.” A freshman

has a new beginning, a fresh start, and an

opportunity to explore the uncharted territories

of one’s life.

Going to college is often a scary experience.

There are new people, new policies, and new

pressures. As the newcomer, those around you

can seem ominous and will either befriend you or

just be indifferent. But that is not how things are

here. As soon as you arrive on campus, you have

“ friends” waiting to greet you — from R.A’s, to

Deans, and to roommates. They are here to help,

and they most assuredly do.

The Lord has led many students here through

many different circumstances. Allycia Speights, a

biology major said, “ CCC has been the best

decision I’ve made. I did a lot of praying before I

came.” Allycia knew a couple of students from

the College, and she even met Dr. Munro at one

of our basketball team’s away games. She

thought Dr. Munro was one of the nicest men

she ever met.

Many times, the freshman year is very

overwhelming and frightening. Every

administrator, faculty and staff member, and

upperclassmen attempt to make freshmen feel

welcome and the transition to college life much

easier. -Kevin Me Evoy
