Sign Up for the SocialCampus Events
To prioritize student safety and successfully guide three new cohorts (Fall 2020, Spring 2021, and Fall 2021) in their transition to campus, we will not be hosting large-scale parent events on-campus during Fall 2021 student move-in and orientation. This allows us to provide the fullest possible support to your student during their transition to campus. Parents of first-year and transfer students are welcome to join their student for a walking tour of campus on either August 25 or 26. This tour will be part of the orientation activity schedule your students selects; students will be notified when activity selection becomes available in August.
