In fall 2004, a vision developed for an extended orientation
program for new UVa-Wise students to make their
transition into the campus community as seamless as possible. That year, a true "Welcome Week" slate of activities
for new and returning students was unveiled.
By fall 2005 that program was expanded and took the
name Expedition, named for Mr. Jefferson's vision of
exploration of the western U.S. by Lewis and Clark.
The Expedition
logo, a directional compass, is symbolic of
the different directions, opportunities and challenges that
College life brings. UVa-Wise abounds with opportunities
for academic exploration and the development of leadership
and personal skills.
Expedition
serves as an all-encompassing kick-off to your
UVa-Wise experience. Fall 2006 is the inaugural year for
this comprehensive extended orientation event...enjoy the
journey!
