Freshmen
Orientation
Students are the lifeblood of any university. Through the collaborative efforts of our various offices, we help students make informed choices about continuing their education. We provide a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the best of the Benedictine values of hospitality and a concern for the development of each individual.
Welcome Weekend,
Thursday, August 25 through Saturday, August 27.
Welcome Weekend is dedicated specifically for you! We create an entire weekend that goes beyond the classroom and gives you a look into the relationships and bonds that the college experience brings with it.
