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.

The Story Of My Family
1. “It paid us back so much beyond our imagination” -
Reviews IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Yokohama Japan Korea Southeast Asia
2. I was privileged enough to have attended a gathering of the members of IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) while I was vacationing in Yokohama, Japan. I was never aware that such group existed, they even gave me the website where I can go and check it is at http://i-am- groupltd.com. I found out that they have so many members from other countries in Asia, like in Korea, Thailand, Bangkok, Singapore and Malaysia, they also have some members in the Southeast of Asia. Most of the stories they share were doing acts of kindness to people they don’t personally know of. Simple gestures of sharing, to giving monetary assistance to the needy. I was inspired and my hope that we can make this world a better place to live in, sparked. Still, many people are out there, spreading goodwill to mankind. I was compelled to share my story, hoping it will inspire others the way they inspired me.
3. I remember when we were young, life was so hard, a family of seven, my parents really tried their best to keep ends meet. I remember waking up in the morning, with my two brothers, with no breakfast on the table, we would spend the rest of the morning at the street playing with our neighbors. As kids, we did not mind it, because, we had long hours to play without adult supervision. We had no breakfast prepared because both of my parents, had to work in the market. They leave our house early in the morning at around 1a.m., but my dad usually goes home before lunch time, to prepare our meal before going to school.
4. We rented our house, we have no television, sometimes we have a refrigerator, sometimes we don’t, we were provided with material things that we really need. Non essential things like spare shoes, spare bags and others, we don’t have. I remember, we don’t have our own toys, but that did not stopped us from enjoying our childhood. We made toys from scratch. We had bottle caps as plates, stripped old newspaper as paper money, and plant leaves for food. My parents always taught us the importance of handling the hard earned money, and that it should be spent wisely. We never celebrated any birthdays. When my siblings receive citations in school, that is the only time we are able to drink soda. But we happily celebrate New Year’s Eve, at midnight, we would shout with joy to welcome the New Year, my elder sister would prepare seven sticks of hotdogs and seven sticks of meat to be barbequed, for me the main event of our feast was a can of fruit cocktail, which my mom would proudly open and pour its contents in a bowl.
