Ram Reel: Ramdition

More than 800 new freshmen at WSSU know what it means to be a Ram, thanks to a new orientation program, RAMDITION. The class of 2013 was the first to be introduced to the new initiative inspired by University College (UC) Aug. 15-22.

The name of the program is derived from the word tradition. The aim is to instill Ram pride and tradition into the new arrivals. Did it ever.

UC did its homework in coming up with the new concept. A review of student surveys from previous years indicated a need for review of the orientation and Prep Week events, says Michelle Releford, dean of UC. In October of 2008, we convened a group of staff from across the University who identified their mission as the creation of a premier first days experience that would empower, inspire, engage, and motivate our new students. Additionally, it was decided that there was a need to cultivate an appreciation for WSSUs great traditions; thus, the term RAMDITION was coined.
