Glossary of Amherst Terms

LEAP - 2.5 day experience during Orientation Week for all new incoming students (transfers included), LEAP stands for Learn, Explore, Activate, and Participate

If overnight and outdoors, the trip is most likely a FOOT (First-Year Orientation Program) LEAP program, which in my year included backpacking, canoeing, caveing, and rock-climbing. Another type of outdoor program is CEOT (Community Engagement Orientation Trip). All types of LEAP program can be found here -- each type links to a sub-page where the specific trips are mentioned. For example, I was on the Book&Plow Orientation Program, which is held under Sustainability.
