Katherine Groves Serves as Fall 2017 Orientation Leader

IRVING, TX (08/22/2017)-- Katherine Groves of Ridgefield, Connecticut, served as one of the University of Dallas' 61 orientation leaders as the university's largest freshman class in history moved in for the fall 2017 semester.

"Orientation leaders are UD's front-line representatives on move-in day and orientation weekend," said Director of Student Affairs Seth Oldham. "They're the first smile that students receive on campus; they're the reassuring face that parents last see as they leave their child for the first time."

Each orientation leader is responsible for a group of 12-15 students during Crusader Days - the university's week-long orientation for new students, which includes events, activities and more to integrate students to UD. These student leaders are specially selected undergraduates who have completed at least two academic semesters at UD, are currently in good academic standing with the university, and are in good standing with the Office of Student Affairs.

The University of Dallas, located in a metropolitan area of nearly 7 million people, is a leading Catholic university widely recognized for academic excellence by well-known publications, organizations and accrediting bodies. It offers distinctive individual undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs in the liberal arts, business and ministry that are characterized by an exceptional, engaged faculty, a commitment to shaping principled, well-skilled leaders and academic rigor in the Catholic intellectual tradition.
