#AUGOrientation

WELCOME TO AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY!

We are excited to have new students and family members on campus! We know that the first couple of weeks on campus can be overwhelming. We hope that learning more about our campus resources and Jaguar Nation helps relieve some of those anxieties!

One of the best ways to balance the academic rigor of Augusta University is to get involved! The campus offers a multitude of options. Some of what the Office of Student Life and Engagement offers:

• The Jaguar Production Crew hosts different campus activities across Health Sciences and Summerville. We are always looking for volunteers!

• Freshman Council within the Student Government Association is a great way for freshmen to get involved in being the voice of the student body and is focused on increasing the leadership capabilities and jaguar spirit on campus.

• Over 150 student organizations that are student led! Looking for someone to play video games with, learn more about the African culture, or even attending a student-led devotional? Check out our student organizations!

• Interested in joining centuries-old organizations with a leadership development and community approach? Check out our Greek Life organizations.

We hope that you will take a moment during Orientation to ask someone about getting involved on campus. Lastly, we hope all of you will join us in August for our Week of Welcome activities across both campuses.

Go Jags!
