• Attend a Welcome Program and get excited for the days and months to come.
• Get to know other students through activities led by Orientation Leaders.
• Receive your class schedule for the fall semester.
• Do a fun and engaging activity with students in your major.
• Learn how to navigate the essential online systems that all University students need to use.
• Eat lunch, dinner, and breakfast in our dining hall.
• Enjoy music, games, and late-night food as you get to know your fellow students in a casual setting.
