Orientation Events
New student and family orientation is not one singular event, but “a collection of events, programs, experiences, and services designed to support new students as they acclimate to higher education” (NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education).
As you explore our resources, programs, and services, we’ll also help identify events that are specifically related to the new student and family onboarding experience. For the full range of campus events and on-going student activities, be sure to use the Western Involvement Network (WIN) or check the Western Events Calendar.
