To news directors, editors, producers, and reporters:

Shawnee State University is expecting another record year of enrollment, and orientation of new students is now underway on campus. This is an excellent opportunity to get photos of new faces in the Portsmouth area, during orientation activities, and a chance to interview incoming students about their fears, dreams, and goals as they continue their education and begin a new path in their lives.

Orientation will be held on July 12, July 14, July 26, July 28, August 16, and August 30.

To schedule interviews or photo shoots call the SSU Office of Communications at (740) 351-3810.
