We Can’t Wait to Welcome You!
We are excited to welcome new Spiders, their parents, families and supporters to campus through our New Spider Orientation program. Required of all new first-year and transfer students, New Spider Orientation provides you with an opportunity to get to know campus, meet new friends, and learn about important resources and opportunities available to you!
We even offer four pre-orientation programs that students can participate in that allows them to move-in even earlier!
