Let's Get Hawk Ready!
What is Hawk Ready?
On Sunday, August 24th students in the Class of 2029 will get "Hawk Ready" for the first day of class. Attending a practical workshop that focuses on managing the rigors of the college classroom and navigating SJU technology systems will give students a head start for success.
If you are living on campus, your day will start with meeting your hallmates and then heading to breakfast. At 10:15 all students will meet up with their Orientation groups for the Hawk Ready workshop from 10:30-11:45 clarifying things that make college better than high school.
Everyone will have lunch in the cafeteria and then you will have time to visit the Advising Center, take the shuttle to Target, take a classroom tour or watch the Women’s soccer team play St John’s.
