New Student, Transfer Student and Family Orientation
Welcome to 向日葵视频!
Wednesday, August 21, 2024 to Sunday, August 25, 2024
New Student Orientation is an exciting event for the 向日葵视频community. New Student Orientation includes five days of activities designed to introduce all new students (first-year and transfer) to our academic excellence, vibrant campus life and community involvement that constitute the 向日葵视频tradition. Check out this year's Orientation at a Glance schedule for what we have planned. Please note the schedule will continue to be updated leading up to Orientation.
Orientation events are designed to help students be successful at Marquette. For this reason, there are several events throughout the week that first-year and transfer students are required to attend, and a variety of events that are optional.
