You’ll find QR Codes throughout

your O Book that will give you more

helpful information.

On behalf of Winthrop

University, welcome

to our community of

learners. We are very

proud that you have

chosen Winthrop. You

will find that everyone

here is focused on your

well-being and success,

and that begins with

helping you to make

the transition to college

life.

You are about to embark on one of the

most exciting journeys of your life – one

of self-discovery and personal challenge.

You will pursue academic offerings that

you anticipated would be at the core of

your studies and no doubt find new fields

of interest. You will also have the chance

to engage in activities and interests both

familiar and new to you.

During Orientation you will receive great

ideas and advice for making your first few

months – and your entire time – at Winthrop

a rich and rewarding experience. The faculty

and staff you engage with will help you sort

out the many options you have and develop

a college experience that best meets your

individual needs.

In my time at Winthrop, I have been

extremely impressed with how, no matter

the circumstances or difficulties facing our

institution or the world, the university’s

faculty and staff continue to focus on our top

priority – our students. That commitment to

our students has always been, and always

will be, a defining characteristic of the

Winthrop experience. We have shown that

no matter what we face, we persevere and

come out stronger than ever. You too will

persevere and emerge stronger during your

time here.

I wish you all the very best of luck and look

forward to seeing you around campus.

Go Eagles!

Sincerely,

George W. Hynd, Ed.D.

Interim President

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!

Blue Line: Established in 1895 by

President Johnson, the Blue Line is

among Winthrop’s most cherished

traditions. Originally, the female

students were led in two lines

down Oakland Avenue where they

could attend any one of the many

churches along the street. The

procession of students dressed

in blue and white uniforms was

led by the President on the

first Sunday of the academic

year and eventually became

known as the “Blue Line.” When

the uniform policy ended, the

tradition lost its identity,

but in 1983 President

Lader revived the

Blue Line. Today, the

President leads the

Blue Line to the

Convocation Picnic. Snap a

picture as you walk with your fellow Eagles to

the community picnic in your Blue Line t-shirt during Welcome Week

in August!

Big Stuff: Winthrop’s official mascot; take a selfie with Big Stuff

when you see him around campus! In 2010, Big Stuff was named

one of the top mascots in the nation by the National Cheerleading

Association.

Cultural Events: Winthrop University strives to offer its students a

setting in which they can mature culturally, as well as intellectually.

In an effort to provide a well-rounded education and foster a lifeenriching

pattern of cultural involvement, students are required to

attend Cultural Events in order to graduate.

DIGS: Pronounced “digs,” this moniker was given to the DiGiorgio

Campus Center, which was named after Winthrop’s ninth president,

Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio.

Garnet & Gold Fridays: Show your Winthrop spirit by wearing your

Winthrop gear every Friday during the academic year! The Student

Alumni Council awards prizes for wearing school colors and issues

“citations” for those wearing a rival school’s gear.

Homecoming: Homecoming includes a variety of activities: alumni

events, athletic games, tailgating, themed parties, student talent

shows, a step show, and special performances. Homecoming

kicks off basketball season in the fall. During half-time of the

men’s basketball game, distinguished students are crowned as

Homecoming Court.

Welcome Week: The first week of the school year kicks off in

August with residence hall move-in. Welcome Week is full of

entertaining and educational activities and events to welcome new

students to campus. Many Welcome Week events are also Cultural

Events. Find more information on the Welcome Week website (www.

winthrop.edu/welcomeweek).

Dear New Students,

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! 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.

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

Director for New Student & Family Programs

CREDITS

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 tightknit

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

RECORDS & REGISTRATION AND ATHLETICS

2021-22 Academic Calendar

The Academic Calendar tells you when Winthrop

has holidays and other important dates, so be

sure to bookmark it.

Ask for help, and don’t be afraid to go to office hours or ASC

(Academic Success Center). I promise you will not be only

student having trouble in a class or to have failed a test.

When you ask for help and learn how to succeed in a class,

you’ll make your way to graduation. Just remember to give

yourself time and a pat on the back when you start to feel

a discouraged. – Senior, human development and family

studies major from Greenville, South Carolina

First Night Winthrop was extremely impactful to see all the

students I will attend school with for the next four years in

one room.

– Sophomore, dance & social work double major from

Olympia, Washington

Cherish the classes that challenge you to think critically and

test your perspective. Those are the classes that will make

you grow the most as a person. – Senior, conservation

biology major from St. Augustine, Florida

The faculty at Winthrop are amazing! They are there for you

and want you to succeed in classes. I still visit professors

now who I have not had a class with since my freshman year

because I built that relationship with them. – Senior, human

development and family studies major from Greenville,

South Carolina

Cultural Events

All students who enrolled at Winthrop as freshmen are required to

attend

18

COMMON BOOK PROGRAM

The Common Book Program

The Common Book provides a common intellectual experience for our learning community

that is designed to support student success. New students receive the Common Book

as an e-book via their Winthrop email and will read it for their first semester on campus.

Discussion of the book will be more in depth when taking the Human Experience Course

and attending Common Book global cultural events.

2021

COMMON

BOOK

PREVIOUS COMMON BOOKS

AT WINTHROP

• Gives students a shared

intellectual experience

• Exposes students to

perspectives that are different

from their own

• Connects to HMXP 102 (The

Human Experience) course

• Supports student success

during the transition to college

life

The common book, Spare

Parts, sparked multiple

conversations across campus

for me. It is very interesting

to hear everyone’s point of

view on the book as a whole,

and the contents of the book

have been discussed in many

of my classes. – Freshman,

chemistry major from

Barnwell, South Carolina

Having a shared reading

experience made me more

open to my classmates as

each of us explained our

feelings and perspectives

about the book. These

conversations about The

Glass Castle helped me see

what similarities I have with my

classmates and was a great

conversation starter with the

other students in my classes.

– Sophomore, international

business major from Chester,

South Carolina

Reading the Common

Book affected my student

experience as I was able to

talk and discuss the different

meanings, ideas, and lessons

portrayed within the book. I

talked about it in HMXP (The

Human Experience), and it

was nice to hear the different

perspectives of my fellow

classmates and how they

viewed the events taking

place within the Common

Book. – Sophomore,

elementary education major

from North Augusta, South

Carolina

Winthrop strives to be financially accessible by having their doors open to students and family to walk in

and talk about any questions or problems they have financially. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I

have contacted either Student Financial Services or Financial Aid and have always gotten quick replies and

descriptive answers to what was needed. – Sophomore, international business major from Chester, South Carolina

Although your family may be helping you with tuition, try and have those financial conversations and sort out

scholarships and payment plans on your own, so that you can understand how it works. This will help you function in

the “real world” as an adult. – Sophomore, elementary education major from Travelers Rest, South Carolina

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

new people is one of the best experiences you’ll have in college.

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.

HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES

All students are required to complete the Not Anymore Programs.

Not Anymore is a suite of online interpersonal violence prevention programs. All students regardless of age

or degree status are required to complete Not Anymore to learn critical information about consent, bystander

information, sexual assault, dating and intimate partner violence, stalking, alcohol and other drugs, and much

more.

You will receive an email to your Winthrop account with a link to complete Not Anymore or you

can access the program through the Not Anymore channel in Wingspan and monitor your progress.

Failure to complete the Not Anymore programs will result in a hold on your student account,

preventing schedule changes and/or course registration. Make sure you complete all programs.

Make Safe Decisions

Alcohol increases the risk of sexual assault because it

lowers inhibitions and impairs judgment. Alcohol is the most

commonly used drug to facilitate rape and sexual assault.

At Winthrop, you are held responsible for your

actions.

Think about it. Ask yourself the following questions

before agreeing to go to a party or social event:

1. Who is going to be there? Will you know anyone?

2. What are you going to be doing? Are you comfortable

with that?

3. Where are you going to be EXACTLY? Tell a friend.

4. When does this social event begin and when does it

end?

5. Why are you going? Be honest with yourself and

prepared.

6. How will you get there and how will you get home?

Free condoms are distributed both upstairs and downstairs

in Crawford Building. If you are going to engage in sexual

conduct, use protection and do so responsibly. Being

responsible also means obtaining active consent. No

consent, no sex.

As part of the Winthrop community, we all take

an active role in creating and maintaining a safe

environment on campus. If you see something that

seems unsafe, say something about it.

Look out for your fellow Eagles and reach out for

help when you need it.

At Winthrop, we have each other’s backs.

S.K.I.T.S.

What is S.K.I.T.S.?

S.K.I.T.S stands for Students Knowing Information to Succeed.

This event is meant to showcase different situations and experiences you may have at college. Watch as Orientation

Leaders and current theater students test their acting skills as they present humorous yet serious issues associated

with life as a college student in three distinct skits.

I

T

S

Personal Responsibility Skit

Follow along as two sets of Winthrop roommates venture

to an off-campus party. This skit is called Personal

Responsibility for two main reasons: at Winthrop, it is your

personal responsibility to practice safety, and you alone

are responsible for your words and actions. These are both

standards that you will be held accountable for during your

time as an Eagle!

Diversity & Inclusivity Skit

Watch your OLs as they showcase a variety of

situations you may encounter during your time here.

This skit serves as an example of how to approach

these situations, but also showcases the expectations

we have for you as a student. At Winthrop, we take

pride in our diversity, and every member of our

community matters.

Hype Skit

The most humorous out of the three, this skit is all about hyping you up for life as an Eagle. Make sure to cheer as you

watch your OL give the crowd a peek into what’s waiting for the newest Eagles!

S.K.I.T.S. Debrief

During Flock Talk #3, your OL will lead your group through a discussion about the Personal

Responsibility Skit and the Diversity & Inclusion Skit. The questions below are to help you further

debrief S.K.I.T.S. as you transition and prepare for college. The issues you saw in the S.K.I.T.S. will arise

in college, maybe not to you or your best friends, but they will happen. We want you to be as ready and

knowledgeable as possible. Take some time to really think through your responses to these questions.

Thinking about the S.K.I.T.S., what issues stuck out to you most?

My favorite part about the Orientation experience

was S.K.I.T.S., where the OLs addressed Winthrop’s

celebration of diversity. The OLs conveyed

important messages of safety and diversity, while

also making it fun and enjoyable. – Sophomore, elementary

education major from North Augusta, South Carolina

When your group did the Diversity Activity with the index cards, what

were some things that surprised you from that experience?

During the Diversity Activity, were there cards that other Eagles

wrote that you identified with or related to?

During Orientation, we did an activity during SK.I.T.S. It was

amazing to hear what people wrote, and it really just made me

think how we all have our own story, no matter how good we

may look on the outside. All of us have something that we are

either dealing with or have dealt with and so that was a really

eye-opening experience. – Junior, middle level education

major from Rock Hill, South Carolina

There are many different ways to get involved on campus. Getting involved is really what helped me find

my “fit” on campus by connecting me with people who had my same interests, but also by connecting with

people who maybe didn’t think exactly the way I did, which really challenged me to learn and grow as a

person. – Junior, psychology major from Sumter, South Carolina

the academic year!

I chose Winthrop University for its amazing ability to make me feel like home. Apart from its very competent faculty

and staff, Winthrop is a community totally open to diversity and acceptance. Coming from Brazil and being an

International Ambassador, it is awesome to be here and represent my country. I think that there could be no better

place for my college experience than Winthrop. - Junior, international business major from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Common Misconceptions

“I’ll just charge all my books to my student account.” ----- Not so

fast! Textbooks must be purchased up-front.

“I can’t highlight in my rented textbooks.” ----- False! Students can

still write and highlight in rental texts. If you choose to write in a

rented new textbook, it will become a used book.

“I have to wait until I get back to campus to purchase my books.”

------ Not true! Find your list of required & recommended books

by going to Wingspan > Student > Registration > Concise Student

Schedule, and clicking “Buy My Books” at the bottom. You can

reserve your order and pick it up in time for the first day of classes!

“The Winthrop Bookstore doesn’t have any pricing options.” -----

Wrong! The Bookstore offers price matching and new/used/digital

options for both purchase and rental textbooks.

Book Purchase Timeline

• Until Classes start

Purchases and rentals are fully refundable with receipt.

• One week after first day of classes

Deadline for full refund of purchases and rentals (with receipt).

• 30 days after first day of classes

All textbook purchases and rentals become final. Deadline for

receiving refund for books for dropped classes (with proof of drop).

In the College of Business, the faculty are

constantly striving to help set you up for a career

outside of college. They are approachable

and ready to help you achieve your goals. –

Sophomore, finance major from Fort Mill, South Carolina

I chose Winthrop mostly because it was perfect for who I

am. I wanted a college where my professors would know

me on a personal level and help me expand my creativity

and my knowledge of art and the world. The College of

Visual & Performing Arts is like a family, and that is exactly

what I wanted. – Sophomore, fine arts photography major

from Chesterfield, South Carolina

As an education major, I want to make a difference in as

many lives as possible, and I feel that teaching will fulfill

me in my lifetime. I appreciate the College of Education

because they get students into the field early and ensure

that we get as wide a scope of experiences as possible

before graduation. The staff are helpful, enthusiastic, and

approachable. – Sophomore, elementary education major

Winthrop graduates understand the interconnected nature of the

world and the time in which they live.

of their disciplines and their lives. They also recognize how their chosen area of

study is inextricably linked to other fields. Winthrop graduates collaborate with

members of diverse academic, professional, and cultural communities as informed

and engaged citizens.

3

Winthrop graduates communicate effectively.

Winthrop University graduates communicate in a manner appropriate to the subject,

occasion, and audience. They create texts – including but not limited to written, oral,
