First Year Experience

Meet the Team!

We understand that starting a new school can be overwhelming for students, so our team of experienced staff and Orientation Leaders are dedicated to making the transition as smooth as possible. Our comprehensive orientation program ensures that new students have access to all the resources and support they need to succeed in their academic journey. We look forward to working with you and providing the guidance you need to thrive in your new environment.

Orientation Leaders will be present to help you on the day of your live, in-person orientation session--they are all looking forward to meeting you on campus!
