Transfer and new student orientation day is set for Friday, Dec. 2, at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
According to Dusty Newton, UNK Admissions director, the day is designed for new transfer students to meet with their advisers and register for spring semester classes. During the day, there will be academic presentations. Also, Academic and Career Services will give a brief overview on how to use various university resources and register for classes.
