I just graduated from college, and sort of remember my orientation. From my experience I feel like half of the day was just listening to other people talk, or meeting with advisors. The other half was broken up into small groups, where we definitely did have to introduce ourselves in front of 20 or so people. I stutter on my name, so it was nerve-wracking to anticipate having to introduce myself. I still have this problem but find that by adding filler words before my name sometimes makes it easier. My go to is "My name is \_\_\_\_", because saying my name outright is difficult. Then theres lunch. You may choose to stick with a person you met from small groups, sit next to someone new, or sit by yourself. If you sit by yourself I guarantee someone will sit with you as that's what orientation is all about. At my school there were optional evening events, which I skipped, but I wish I had had the courage to attend. Overall its a very laid back event and you really shouldn't worry. Most of these people you'll never see again (with the exception of people from your major). There will be tons of people with their parents, and tons of people who are just as nervous as you. Some advice that may or may not be helpful \-Think about disclosing your stuttering? I still find this hard, and don't often do it, but it sometimes takes the pressure off of speaking perfectly, and also puts your audience at ease, whether its in front of a group, or an individual conversation. \-Don't avoid speaking. I feel like my stutter and my avoidance only got worse as I went through college. \-Prepare and practice a list of questions/answers you may think you'll have to say. This way you can choose the best words that work for you. \-Find something that helps you relax. The more nervous I get, the worse I speak, and it just spirals out of control. \-Stay positive, if you don't care about your stuttering, your audience won't either. Also definitely seek out speech therapy on your campus. I didn't address my problem until my senior year, and I wish I did sooner. I would contact them now because at my school they offered semester sessions where you had to sign up before a certain date. It will be heavily discounted, if not free, and they will give you some tools to help with moments of stuttering!
