What happens during Spring Orientation and
why is it so important?
Orientation is a time when the University community comes together
to embrace and welcome our new students. Orientation is a REQUIRED
program for all new students, whether they are freshmen, transfer,
international and resident or commuter students. It is important
because it allows you to become more comfortable with the campus,
including classroom buildings, student services and parking. By
attending Orientation, you have your first opportunity to beat the
lines and establish relationships with the academic deans, faculty
and administration. Most importantly, you have a chance to meet
fellow incoming students and current student leaders allowing you
to create crucial friendships that last a lifetime. Students
benefit from information on various unique aspects of the
University from different departments such as the Offices of Campus
Ministry, Judicial Affairs, Residence Life, Public Safety and
Faculty. Students are also able to receive their Storm Cards,
Laptops and amazing Orientation Giveaways.
