Picture this! PTC to host a special welcome event for new students


PTC's Student Affairs department is gearing up to offer a new special event for newly-admitted students this fall. The event, called Picture This!, is especially designed to welcome new students and their families.

"We offer the orientation and registration session to students at the time they start, but there is simply so much information offered at Orientation, and students are so focused on registering that we fear they aren't truly absorbing all that we have to offer," explains Nancy Mach, PTC's Dean of Student Affairs. "By providing a more relaxed and fun atmosphere by way of Picture This!, new students are more likely to really get to know us, their new environment, and the wide range of student services available to them," Mach adds.

Picture This! is set for Mon. Aug. 15, 4 to 7 p.m., and the event is open to all new students and their families. Staff members from around the college will be on hand, as well as several specific services, designed around the event's theme.

Special Sessions to be featured:
• Picture Perfect: Student IDs
• Picture Involvement: Student Clubs
• Picture Connectivity: Student E-mail account
• Picture Support: Veterans Center
• Picture Books: Campus Store
• Picture Readiness: Time-Management Coaching
• Picture Success: Academic Skills Center/Tutoring
• Picture Service: Counseling & Disability Services

Additionally, students will enjoy prizes, ice cream, and fun! For more information, contact PTC Student Affairs, 320-629-5100, or e-mail: information@pinetech.edu.
