| SCHEDULE | REGISTRATION | FAQs |
Porter College has been created to help incoming Porter Scholars acclimate to their new "scholarship" family and understand their personal obligations as outlined by both the scholarship and society's terms and statement of agreement. Based on the four pillars of the Porter (Scholarship, Leadership, Service & Heritage), this 3-day "retreat" will provide opportunities for the newest members of our campus to virtually travel from their first day of class to the day they receive their diploma and then on to greater opportunities found in the form of Alumni alliances and partnerships. Scholars will be exposed to an array of college success strategies for both personal, professional and academic development.
Monday, August 17th: Porter Scholars will explore major aspects associated with the freshman and sophomore classifications throughout the day.
Tuesday, August 18th: Porter Scholars will explore major aspects with the junior and senior classifications throughout the day.
Wednesday, August 19th: Porter Scholars will explore major aspects associated with the graduate student and alumni classifications throughout the day.
