Clark to Create Week Nine, Just to...Check In

​Week One is a pillar of the Clark University experience. All incoming students endure the action-packed, WAH --filled, and overwhelmingly social four-day function. However, some students simply did not get enough of whatever you get out of orientation. A recent petition on Change.org prompted the Clark administration to create Week Nine, “A Check-In Sesh.”

The Week Nine re-orientation will take place in late October and will require all first-year students to drop their classes and extracurricular activities to attend. Dropping friends made during Week One is also mandatory.

According to Tim St. John, the Director of Student Leadership and Programming, interviews for Peer Adviser positions will be held within the next week.

The Freudian Slip interviewed Kelley Ryan (‘18), a new PA this past summer, “I’m just worried that I’m not going to get in this time. I mean, I just want to be a part of the ‘in group’ on campus. Also Birdie-on-a-Perch is the most physical contact I’ve had in months… I need this.” Ryan also complained about a possible budget problem, “How are they going to pay for longsleeve PA shirts? Oh the insanity!” At this, The Freudian Slip slowly backed away.

Tim St. John told The Freudian Slip that everything about Week Nine will be pretty much the same as Week One, “Same talks, same entertainment, same black light dance. However, the icebreakers will actually involve breaking ice. We do live in New England after all.”
