ORIENTATION August 25-28, 2016

Welcome! Congratulations on your decision to attend Nazareth College! New student orientation for the 2016-2017 academic year starts on Thursday, August 25. All new students arrive on that day and the orientation program runs through Sunday, August 28. Classes begin on Monday, August 29. Whether you are a freshman or a transfer student, resident or commuter, our orientation staff will make every effort to make you feel welcome. The orientation program is designed to help with your early transition and adjustment to life at Nazareth. Each new incoming student is assigned an orientation group with current Nazareth students as their orientation leaders. New students spend the weekend with their group learning about campus life, student services, and College policies; meeting with their academic advisors; participating in community service; and getting to know other students, faculty, and staff. Again, welcome! I look forward to meeting you! Jane Kelly Director, Campus Life Assistant Vice President, Student Development
