Congratulations and welcome to the FIT community. Get
ready for a transformational experience. Your FIT journey
will engage your mind, activate your heart, and get you
started on a whole new adventure.
During Orientation Week, you will begin to experience what
it means to be a part of the FIT community. We challenge
you to take this opportunity to make new friends, connect
with your academic environment, and get involved in
campus life. You will quickly understand why attendance
during orientation is mandatory. Each day of the week
focuses on a specific aspect of your transition toward
becoming successful at FIT. This guide is a useful resource
because it outlines important programs and sessions
designed to help with your transition.
We promise this week will be a positive and memorable one.

We are all excited to meet you and help
you on your journey here at FIT.
New Student Orientation will be full of
fun activities designed to help you become
familiar with campus, acquire important
information, and learn all about what
FIT has to offer. The fall 2016 orientation
leaders are here to make sure you have a
wonderful orientation experience.
When you check in, you will be assigned
to an orientation group. Students from
a variety of majors are assigned to each
group so that you can get to know a mix
of other new FIT students. You will stay
with this group through New Student
Orientation. Orientation groups will
meet up multiple times per day. Our first
orientation group meet-up is at 10 am on
Monday morning. For your orientation
group’s specific meet-up location, please
refer to the New Student Orientation
schedule in this booklet.
Don’t worry—if you ever feel lost or
confused, we will be with you every step
of the way throughout the entire week of
New Student Orientation.

Orientation 2016 Common Project
Common Project
One of the programs we are most excited about is the
Common Project. As a group, you will create a presentation
showcasing your experiences during your first week at FIT.
To get to know FIT better, you will be given a list of items to
collect throughout campus, and you will assemble these with
pictures of your experiences and new friends. Your group and
other teams will have a chance to present during the Common
Project event on Friday, August 26, in Haft Auditorium. Craft
materials will be available in Student Life on the seventh floor
of the David Dubinsky Student Center throughout the week in
“The Center” in Student Life. We will explain more about the
project when we meet as a group. Good luck!
We can’t wait to meet you!
Sincerely,
FIT Fall 2016 orientation leaders
#readysetroar
The Common Project
With your orientation group, you will create a collage showcasing the
experiences of your first week here at FIT. In order to get to know the
school better, you will collect the things listed below for your collage along
with pictures of your experiences, your feelings, new friends, impressions,
and anything that helps to commemorate your Orientation Week!
•

•
•
On the Friday of orientation you and your Orientation Group will have two
minutes to present your collage to your fellow students, staff and faculty.
Your common project will be judged on: Creativity, Originality, Most Tasks
Accomplished, and Best Presentation. The winning group will receive their
choice of some fabulous prizes.

You can be as creative as you like with your presentation. Some groups
choose to make a video; some do a live action skit or routine; other groups
design an article of clothing representing their orientation experience.
The possibilities are endless; throughout the years of the Common Project
we’ve seen it all. For groups that are making videos or that need to utilize
a computer, all files must be saved to an external hard drive and submitted
during the Common Project Submission event on Friday, August 26.
For groups not using any sort of technology, please just “submit” your
project during that event by signing in at the check-in station. If you have
any general or technical questions about the Common Project, let your
orientation leader know.
