Princeton NJ — Freshmen Courtney Quiros of Atlanta (left) and Shobana Venkat of Copenhagen, Denmark, arrived on campus Sept. 2 and spent some time unpacking and getting to know each other in their Holder Hall room.
The first members of the class of 2010 to move in were those involved in the Outdoor Action and Community Action programs. After dropping their belongings on campus, the students embarked on several days of experiential learning during the two pre-orientation programs.

Learning the ropes
A total of 730 freshmen — some 60 percent of the class — participated in the Outdoor Action and Community Action pre-orientation programs Sept. 3-8. In addition to making new friends, the students learned about the many opportunities available to them on campus and in the surrounding communities.
Learning the ropes: Community Action sponsored activities at 12 volunteer sites. Shown here, freshmen readied wall sections for construction at a Habitat for Humanity project in Trenton. (photo by John Jameson)

Outdoor Action organized 68 wilderness camping trips, including this venture (at right) to the Princeton-Blairstown Center in northern New Jersey, where students hiked and traversed a rope bridge.
For both experiential learning programs, upperclassmates provided guidance as leaders and mentors.
