23 - 24 | 25 - 26 | 28 - 29 | 30 - 1

Registration for Orientation is from Tuesday, May 12 (9:15 am) - May 27 (5:00 pm). Orientation is a two-day, overnight experience for members of our incoming class. We offer a full-day program on Day 1 of each session for parents and families. Students will stay overnight on campus and be ready for pick-up by 3:00 pm on Day 2.

We invite all of our incoming first-year students and their parents/family to join us on Hawk Hill for a two-day on-campus program.
