dc.description.abstractBackground: Higher education in Hong Kong is undergoing a rapid transition from elite to mass university education. In City University of Hong Kong, there are more and more incoming first-generation students with diversified background and abilities. Student profiles and needs are discussed with reference to first year student surveys and assessment results. Theoretical Orientations: University orientation practices are becoming increasingly critical to student adjustment and success. To design strategic interventions, relevant student development theories are revisited. (e.g. Astin, 1984; Chickering et al 1993; Kuh et. al, 1991, Winston & Miller, 1987). Proposed Strategic Changes: A strategic approach of extended orientation is proposed for students to - enhance learning - develop early awareness - establish directions and objectives - connect to supportive relations Existing orientation practices and proposed systemic interventions in City University of Hong Kong, involving Academics, student services departments, senior students and alumni in a concerted, university-wide effort, will be discussed.en_US
