<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Orientation Week is a combination of academic support and community-building focused on new student transition (first-years, transfers, grad students, etc.) and is a critical transition moment for new students.
We’re working hard to ensure all students receive relevant and engaging academic and social programming. For 2016 we’re focusing on just-in-time academic programming, Arts community building activities, and are adding an element of choice in programming for
our new students.</span></p>
