During the Orientation program, you will receive information on academics and student life while meeting other first year students and members of our faculty and staff communities. You will have the opportunity to stay overnight in one of our Residence Halls. Also during Orientation you will schedule fall courses and participate in fun and informative workshops that will prepare you for the transition to college.
