Through our welcome programs, we support your transition to college life by making connecting and building community a little easier and less stressful. We know from experience (and research!) how fundamental and real the need is to be at home on campus.
These programs, held in late August, are open to all first-year, transfer, and nontraditional students. See program pages for specific dates and details.
