Students interested in participating on an intercollegiate athletic team should contact the admissions office or the respective coaches. A limited amount of athletic financial aid is available for outstanding athletes. Music Groups Students with musical abilities may develop and utilize their talents in any one of a number of musical groups. Instrumentalists may participate in the Symphonic Band, Brass Choir, String Choir, Woodwind Choir, or Yellow Jacket Pep Band. Vocalists may sing with the Concert Chorale, Men's Glee Club, Oratorio Chorus, Women's Choir, the Jubilate gospel choir, or one of the many small ensembles directed by the Division of Christian Minis– tries. Membership in any of these groups is typically determined through auditions which occur during "Get– ting Started Weekend." New Student Orientation At the start of each quarter, new students are provided with opportunities designed to facilitate adjustments to their new surroundings and provide a format for course selection and program planning with the assistance of an assigned faculty advisor. The fall program includes orientation for parents. Special interest sessions, question and answer times, small group meetings, and social activities provide opportunities for students and parents to meet new friends and adjust to a new environment. Help during winter and spring quarters is often provided on a one-on-one basis with a continuing student. Place– ment testing may be required during orientation. Student Publications Students maintain primary responsibility for the publi– cation of the college yearbook, The Miracle, and the college newspaper, Cedars. A faculty member provides direction and advice. Students interested in staff positions may contact the respective editors. Five major singing groups welcome student vocalists.
