TALK LIKE AN EAGLE
Here is a helpful list of common words and phrases used by the Winthrop
community that you may hear around campus.
Convocation: As a Winthrop tradition that began with the
university’s first president, David Bancroft Johnson, Convocation is
a ceremony always held before classes begin at the start of each
academic year. The president convenes the new class to offer them
an official welcome to Winthrop, and Winthrop alumni relate how the
Winthrop experience has shaped their experience after graduation.
See you at Convocation 2021 during Welcome Week in August!

Dear New Students,
Welcome to Winthrop! We are so excited to have you here, and it is our hope that you are just as excited to
be here.
Winthrop is a place where everyone can find and create their space. There are so many opportunities that
await you at your new home, but it is going to be important for you to go after those opportunities. You are
strong, you are smart, you are capable, you can make it happen. New environments can be intimidating
however, we know that you are capable of handling it! If you weren’t capable, you wouldn’t be here.
These next years are going to be crucial in the foundation of your future. Therefore, let’s work to craft the
best experience possible for you! As you progress in your time at Winthrop, you will quickly learn why
we call this place home. This is now your home too. You have only cracked the surface of all that you are
capable of. Allow Winthrop to be a vehicle for your continuous elevation. We are here, along with countless
others, to aid you in your growth. Don’t be afraid to use your voice, your resources, and your experiences to
create the best Winthrop possible. We are rooting for you.
Once again, welcome to Winthrop and the best times of your life!
With love,
Erin Emiroglu, Chair, Council of Student Leaders (CSL)
Miguel Caldwell, Vice Chair, Council of Student Leaders (CSL)

WELCOME TO WINTHROP
GREETINGS FROM THE DIRECTOR OF NEW STUDENT & FAMILY PROGRAMS
Dear New Eagle,
Congratulations on your acceptance to Winthrop University! We are so excited to welcome you to campus. The
Winthrop Orientation program is designed to help new students and families transition to the college environment
and introduce the Winthrop Experience.
Orientation provides you the opportunity to get connected to campus early on, learn about what Winthrop has to
offer, meet new people, and start your Winthrop career on the right foot, which is why you are required to attend all
Orientation activities throughout the program. Your transition to Winthrop and college life is a process, and it all starts
here! Be present and ask your questions. We want you to feel comfortable and confident about your choice to attend
Winthrop.
In your O Book, you will find a wide range of information we anticipate will be valuable to you. If you have questions
about anything in this booklet, talk to your Orientation Leader – they are here for you! As a result of Orientation, we hope that you will have a further
sense of comfort that you’ve made the right decision to attend Winthrop and confidence that you
are equipped to be a successful student.
With Winthrop Pride,
Callie Smith

10CREDITS
My favorite thing about Winthrop is that
it feels like a giant family! The faculty
and staff are so caring, welcoming, and
compassionate about what they do,
and the students here are always willing to help
each other out. – Freshman, chemistry major from
Barnwell, South Carolina
The culture of Winthrop is incredibly unique. I love
that our campus is small enough to feel like a tight-
knit community, yet just large enough to be diverse
with opportunities to meet new faces. Winthrop
is a place you can call home. – Junior, elementary
education major from Blythewood, South Carolina
There is no other institution as caring as Winthrop.
Winthrop contains something special in terms
of student life. The faculty and staff strive to
challenge students while being fair and helpful.
They understand that college is a journey of
learning to love learning. – Junior, elementary
education major from Mount Pleasant, South
Carolina
My favorite thing about Orientation was seeing
all the other students in the same place as you.
Everyone is a little nervous, but we got to know
each other with the help of our OL. – Junior,
psychology major from Inman, South Carolina
Being on campus has allowed me to get involved
and make connections, especially since I am from
out of state and therefore did not know anyone
down here when I first came. – Sophomore, special
education major from Sparta, New Jersey
Student Classification
Freshmen Fewer than 24 credit hours completed
Sophomores 24-54 credit hours completed
Juniors 54-87 credit hours completed
Seniors At least 87 credit hours completed

How to Prepare for Living with Roommates
1. Connect with your roommate before you move into the Residence Hall.
• This is a great time to get to know more about your roommate’s
interests and hobbies. Have your questions ready!
• It’s also an opportunity to coordinate who is bringing what (TVs,
gaming systems, cleaning supplies, etc.).
2. Be respectful of your roommate. They are learning to adjust to a new
environment just like you.
3. Focus on finding interests and values you have in common. Meeting Room Roommate
new people is one of the best experiences you’ll have in college. Measurements Resources
4. Be honest with your roommate – if you are messy, be upfront about it,
but expect to clean up after yourself.
• If something bothers you, it is best to say something about it.
Honestly, your roommate may not even be aware that there is a
problem unless you speak up.
5. Roommates are not always best friends – and that’s ok!
• Close relationships take time to develop. You may find your best
friends in shared classes or in clubs and organizations you join.
