A&O Session Format

We are excited to continue to support first-year students in their transition to the University. 

To honor the complexities each student may experience, we are moving forward with an experience that provides online, live on zoom, and in-person engagement in a scaffolded model throughout the transition period. We will focus on the delivery of transitional programming using a new format involving online, live zoom, and on-campus engagement efforts.
