Orientation
What Residential Students
can expect on Arrival Day
This day represents a change in the life not only of incoming students but also of their families and friends. It will be a long day, filled with emotion and tasks that must be completed. The Orientation 2010 staff hopes to ease the transition for both incoming students and their families and friends by providing as much information as possible before you arrive. We look forward to meeting you!
