. As students become more active on college campuses, especially near the end of academic terms the traditional model of extensive in-person pre-departure orientations have come into direct conflict with student time constraints, as well as staff resources. At the same time, study abroad offices have seen an increase in the amount of information, both cultural and administrative, that needs to be communicated to students. This session will discuss the limitations of traditional pre-departure orientations and explore ways in which institutions can develop and implement online orientations. Finally, this session will outline limitations of online orientation programs and discuss potential solutions.
