So she felt alone for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Transylvania University\u2019s assistant director of student success, O&#8217;Bryan is now making sure the 300 or so members of the Class of 2026 feel like they have a new home, a place where they know people care about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is O&#8217;Bryan&#8217;s first New Student Orientation at Transylvania \u2014 in fact it\u2019s going to be new in a way for the whole campus community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year&#8217;s orientation, which begins with Friday&#8217;s first-year student Move-In Day, will feature a first-ever &#8220;Pass on the Light&#8221; ceremony Saturday morning, along with traditional favorites like Sunday&#8217;s Greet Line and Class Photo on the Old Morrison Steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in Haggin Auditorium, &#8220;Pass on the Light&#8221; will be a nice send-off for families, and it will help mark their students&#8217; transition to college, O&#8217;Bryan said. (These new Pioneers will say bye to their families after the event, before the afternoon activities start.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Pass on the Light&#8221; (electric) candle ceremony draws inspiration from Transylvania\u2019s motto \u2014 <em>In Lumine illo Tradimus Lumen,<\/em> &#8220;In That Light, We Pass on the Light&#8221; \u2014 and will feature members of the school community passing on words of wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other orientation events include a welcome lunch for legacy students, Pioneer Prep Sessions, an Outdoor Glow Party and plenty of other fun and informative activities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/campus\/your-first-year\/orientation-schedule\/\">Check out the full schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As is tradition, new students will receive their commemorative coins inscribed with the school motto and an inspirational quote during an Opening Assembly for the whole campus in Haggin on the first day of classes, Aug. 29, at 4:30 p.m. A welcome line and school community picnic will follow in the area around Alumni Plaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These events \u2014 in addition to all the help from the Transylvania community they\u2019ll get with moving into their residence halls \u2014 will contribute to the new students&#8217; sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes those who might not have been excited to jump in right away. &#8220;I want to make sure we are able to catch all those students,&#8221; said O&#8217;Bryan, who since she started in March has been helping Pioneers feel like they have a place at Transylvania. &#8220;I want to make sure we don&#8217;t have any students who are feeling isolated or not connected to the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That ties into a big focus of hers: retention. Soon after orientation, she plans to launch initiatives involving departments across campus to help ensure current students stay until they graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally from St. Louis, O&#8217;Bryan fell in love with helping out college students after starting her career in elementary education. (She&#8217;s also moved around a lot with her husband \u2014 from South Korea to Savannah, Georgia, to Lexington \u2014 and she loves animals.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I feel passionate about ensuring that every student has a great experience,&#8221; O&#8217;Bryan said. &#8220;Being in Student Life is a real chance to affect that kind of change.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1-810x539.jpg\" alt=\"person posing for a photo\" class=\"wp-image-20468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1-810x539.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1-730x485.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/translvania_obryan-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption>Corinne O&#8217;Bryan, assistant director of student success<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Corinne O&#8217;Bryan first started college, she didn&#8217;t attend any orientation events.
