“…Taken together, these findings may suggest a return to orientation's historic ''fun and games'' approach that many co-curricular programs adopted in the mid-to-late twentieth century (Gardner and Hansen 1993). Some institutional stakeholders may be tempted to use this approach when creating orientation sessions within the context of first-year programs, especially in light of recent research documenting the powerful effects of these programs and their embedded first-year seminar or success courses on student learning (see Barefoot 2005;Engberg and Mayhew 2007;Mayhew et al 2008). What is important to remember is that orientation programs are often the first (and sometimes only) structured opportunities administrators have for communicating institutional priorities to students; what messages are we sending if these contexts continue to be positioned primarily for social purposes?…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of orientation programs on student academic and social learning. Moving beyond previous studies, we examined how participation in orientation programming affected student learning and how the impact of these programs on learning varied by organizational characteristics (i.e., institutional control, size of undergraduate enrollment, sponsoring division, and whether the institution has an office designated for managing orientation programs), student entry characteristics (i.e., gender, race, transfer status), and student experiences (i.e., perceived quality of orientation program in helping student transition and in meeting students' expectations, positive experiences with orientation staff, and perceptions of orientation programs and their efficacy in helping students navigate resources and in providing useful campus-based information). Hierarchical linear analysis was used to analyze these crosslevel effects. Results demonstrated that having a designated office for orientation programs on campus was important for narrowing the academic learning gap between new-first year and transfer students. Implications for researchers and practitioners were discussed.

“…Moreover, two of the studies (Florida Department of Education, 2006;Stovall, 2000) implied an added advantage to students of color. Although the literature is sparse with respect to non-academic effects, one study reported a positive relationship between student success courses and higher democratic values (Engberg & Mayhew, 2007) and another reported that incorporating material on alcohol consumption and awareness into the course reduced alcohol abuse among students who took the course compared with students who did not (Mayhew, Caldwell, & Hourigan, 2008 …”

“…The incorporation of prevention programming, use of peer counselors, and brief motivational strategies has been found to be effective for decreasing high-risk behaviors and substance use (Buscemi et al, 2010;LaBrie et al, 2006;Mayhew, Caldwell, & Hourigian, 2008). CAS identified counseling services as a peripheral campus support partner with Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs (ATOD) programs.…”

Student affairs programs share a common goal of developing master's level professionals for employment in higher education. Approximately one-third of student affairs training programs are counseling-based and half of those programs are accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). However, there is a lack of literature regarding the preparation of student affairs professionals trained in counseling programs and the importance of counselor training to the student affairs profession. Based upon a review of the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education Professional Standards, CACREP standards, and other related research, this article will discuss the perceived value of counselor preparation to the functional areas within student affairs and categorize the specific student affairs functional areas based upon the perceived value of counselor training.
