NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - Students going to college for the first time can
find tips for adjusting to campus life as well as other resources in the
current issue of Orientation magazine.

The 48-page Orientation 2001 addresses issues facing students and their
parents at the start of a new school year. The annual magazine, in its 23rd
year, is designed to assist graduating high school seniors with the
transition to college. It offers practical tips about campus life, how to
locate the campus ministers or chaplain and how to ask for help.

The magazine is produced jointly by the United Methodist Board of Higher
Education and Ministry's Campus Ministry Section and Office of
Interpretation. Designed for an ecumenical audience, Orientation 2001 may be
used by church groups, campus ministers, college deans and other college
administrators. 

This year's theme is "Soul Survivors in the Real World." Articles explore
the "real world" of people caring for one another, working together in
community to help others, and living out their faith every day in Christian
service. Other articles challenge students with questions about God, faith,
values and relationships. Information about loans and scholarships, prayers
for students, and a study guide for group or individual reflection are also
included.

Copies are $3 each and are available in bulk orders. Details on ordering
Orientation 2001 are available from the Campus Ministry Section, United
Methodist Board of Higher Education and Ministry, P.O. Box 340007,
