Welcome To The Class 1995 Welcome to the University of Ncwth Carolina at Chapel Hill. We hope that your four years here will not only be pleasant, but also productive and successful. Pre-Orientation is designed to aid you, African American and Native American students, in your path towards graduation— as far off as it may seem. We realize that Pre-Orientation is a time at which entering freshmen are literally bombarded with information. This Pre-Orientation issue designed to put some of the most important information that will be given to you during this period in one place. We have included a schedule of events for Pre-0 and letters from the heads of various organizations. We have also included information from the Office of S tudent Counseling and Academic Support Services. These departments are services that the University provides in order to aid students in their quest for a degree. A word from the not so wise but already been there: get to know these people eariy; they can help get you out of all kinds of unforeseen trouble. We also hope that you keep Black Ink in mind. We arc a weekly African American newsmagazine that focuses on issues important to Black people in both our community and the nation. Black Ink needs energetic students who are interested in writing, advertising, business management and editing. Although four years may seem like a long time, college goes by quickly. Black Ink offers you experience that you will need when job hunting or applying to graduate or pre professional schools. Keep us in mind when you are deciding in what capacity you will be involved at this university. Black Ink is not only fun but a learning experience. Again, we would like to welcome you to UNC. Please enjoy Pre-0. We remember it as being not only a lot of information, but also a lot of fun. See you on campus, Peace, Erika F. Campbell and Akinwole N’Gai Wright.
