Virtual Welcome Receptions

Some virtual sessions are intended for just students or just parents and guardians, and some are for everyone. Your student(s) will receive details from the First-Year Experience Office. Please ask your student to watch their email for more information.

For questions regarding the student welcome sessions or Fall Orientation and move-in specifics, please contact Don Miller.
