Ten two-day New Student Orientation sessions are offered throughout the summer of 2017, designed by the Office of Student Transitions to ensure incoming students are comfortable and informed before arriving to campus this fall.
The first session took place on June 12-13 with remaining sessions running through July 17-18.
New Student Orientation is required for all incoming undergraduate students because we believe so strongly that your participation will significantly improve your transition to college life.
