New Student Move-In Day & Kick-Off Program for Orientation Part II

Residence halls open for first-year students at 10 AM and the college community greets and directs every- one to their new ‘home away from home.’ Students meet their groups for their first dinner on campus and attend the kick-off program together.

Orientation Part II & Fall Convocation

Students continue the orientation process through attendance at academic programs and at introduc- tory receptions where they will have the opportunity to meet faculty in their discipline. New students then all attend Fall Convocation, an annual ceremony marking the student’s new academic journey.
