Transfer Camp (T-Camp)
officials are expecting a record
number of campers this year for
their transfer student orientation
program.
Jennifer Coates, associate
director of T-Camp and senior
political science major, said
Monday that camp enrollment
increases because of "word of
mouth" communication.
"The word is getting out about
T-Camp," she said. "The camp is
fairly new and the word is getting
around that students can get
connections at school and you get
to meet other students."
Jan Patterson, T-Camp adviser,
said they anticipate about 500
students will attend this year's
camp sessions.
Similar to Fish Camp; the
freshman orientation program, T-
Camp provides transfer students
with information not given during
registration conferences. During
the three-day camp session,
transfer students learn about
A&M traditions and university
life.
Patterson said more transfer
students are seeking information
about A&M as word of mouth
communication increases
enrollment.
"As A&M becomes more and
more academically challenging,
students are looking for ways to
ensure their success," she said.
"Students who are knowledgeable
and feel comfortable at the
institution tend to be more
successful in college."
As the number of campers
increase, the need for camp
counselors increases as well.
During the first T-Camp in
1987, 50 student counselors were
needed. This year, the number of
counselors has grown to 230.
Coates said many students
apply for the position because T-
Camp does not have a
bureaucracy. She said it is
possible to move into leadership
positions without previous
counseling experience.
"T-Camp counselors don't
have to work their way up," she
said. "It's an immediate
leadership opportunity.''
Correction
An editorial cartoon
appearing in Wednesday's issue
of The Battalion misidentified
the Lfniversity Police
Department as the campus
agency that hands out parking
tickets.
The Department of Parking,
Transit and Traffic bears the
responsibility for parking
tickets.
The Battalioil regrets the
error.
