New student orientation will take place from Sunday, August 20 through Sunday, August 27. Following this week-long experience, O-Team members will facilitate new student outreach coordinated by Student Engagement during the first 3 weeks of the semester. The O-Team will assist with providing on-going support, encouragement, and resources to new students. Some examples include sending emails and text messages, bringing new students to Involvement Expo, meeting for a meal on campus, attending a campus event together.
