Orientation

Welcome to CDSP Orientation.

We hope your week is helpful, fun, informative and comfortable. Our greatest goal for this time together is to give you enough of the basics to navigate your first weeks here and begin to build a renewing sense of community for your class, and within the school. As we draw that circle, know that your partners, spouses and families are integral to that community.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me or talk to me during Orientation. 

The Rev. L. Ann Hallisey, Dean of Students
