Abstract
Professionals working in orientation, transition, and retention (OTR) have expressed apprehension about discussing religion and worldview because it is often considered a personal matter and a subject that can be quickly polarizing. Despite these challenges, there are many benefits to engaging religious and worldview diversity within orientation programs. This Campus Note features stories from the field and highlights how and why worldview and interfaith cooperation can be infused into orientation programs. Indeed, by addressing worldview, an institution can uphold its experiences and values to incoming students.
