Hi everyone, I’m Haley Sankey, the primary instructor for EMSC 302. In 302, the orientation course, we’ll cover a lot of things to help you be successful as an ESP and World Campus student. We’ll talk about things like how to use the Penn State library system, how to understand where you stand in your degree completion path, and we’ll cover the learning competencies for the program so that you have a better understanding of what you got yourself into.

I look forward to working with all of you, and good luck!
