Are you a new student?

Orientation Week is a week you don't want to miss! Whether you’re living off-campus or in residence, your weekend will kick off with community socials, dinner, and the opening welcome hosted by Student Experience & Student Affairs.  

Throughout Orientation Week there will be over 250 events run by student clubs and departments across campus. Events include everything from small close-knit socials to the large Pep Rally. With so many campus members involved in running events in O-Week we promise you’ll find events that will help you meet other Gryphons, get involved with something that interests you, and learn more about your program.
