SUMMIT is Shorter College’s new student orientation program that occurs during the summer. There are four SUMMIT sessions for incoming freshman, one Honors SUMMIT for honors students, and one Transfer SUMMIT for transfer students.
The orientation process continues with welcome week. Welcome Week is held each year starting with new student move in, which is the Saturday before classes begin. The week begins with a family cook-out on Saturday night, then the students continue the remainder of the week to help them get acquainted with the college. Students will find out more information about Welcome Week at their SUMMIT session.
