Bear Beginnings 2015 Freshman Schedule

2

Welcome to Washington University! As you prepare to begin life at college, you will share many similar experiences with other new students, starting with Bear Beginnings: New Student Fall Orientation. Events such as Convocation, the First Year Reading Program, WU Life Series, WUFC, and SUp All Night are designed to promote a common experience for the Class of 2019.

At the same time, Washington University recognizes the individuality of its students and we encourage you to tailor your orientation experience to your own personal needs and preferences.

Your four-day orientation experience will be comprised of programs designed for the entire freshman class, events related to your undergraduate school, and additional activities tailored to your specific interests.

Each undergraduate school has its own programs for students in that academic division. Please pay particular attention to REQUIRED EVENTS as they may pertain to academic requirements.

Make note of programs without school affiliations, such as placement exams, social events, and residential college activities and floor meetings. Some of the events are REQUIRED, while others are optional; however, we strongly encourage you to participate in all programs in order to make the most of your Bear Beginnings experience.

The most important thing to remember during Bear Beginnings is that you are not alone in this new experience. Everyone on campus is excited to help you learn all you need to know about being a student at Washington University, so don’t ever hesitate to ask questions as you begin to discover your place in the Washington University community!

Throughout the schedule, the following abbreviations are used to indicate mandatory programs and events; attendance is required:

Is Coding the New Literacy?Ron Cytron, School of Engineering and Applied ScienceSeigle Hall, room L006With computation playing a major role in almost every aspect of our lives, it is timely to ask whether the ability to express oneself logically (say, via writing code) has become necessarily for all educated people. Is CSE101 the new Writing 1? Are computer programs works of art, worthy of subjective judgement, praise, and criticism? This talk will explore these topics.

What is Animation? Diane Lewis, College of Arts and SciencesWilson Hall, room 214What is Animation? -- To “animate” means to bring to life or set into motion.
