Undergraduate Student Orientation 2009

Note to newly admitted students: You recently received a newsletter from the Admission Office entitled “Around Brown” which includes an incorrect version of the 2009 Fall Academic Calendar. Please find a correct version of the 2009 Fall Academic Calendar here: http://brown.edu/college/orientation/year_at_a_glance/

Congratulations on your admission to Brown University! Every part of our campus community - the faculty, the staff, and a legion of student peer advisors including the Orientation Welcoming Committee (OWC) - looks forward to welcoming you to Brown at Orientation, which begins Saturday, September 5. Pre-Orientation Programs in which students may elect to participate begin several days prior to the 5th. Whether you are a first-year student, a transfer or visiting student, or a Resumed Undergraduate Education student, Orientation will help you acclimate to Brown’s distinctive living and learning community. We have planned Orientation with four primary goals in mind:

1. To help you learn about the nature of liberal education at Brown;
2. To familiarize you with Brown’s campus environment and the various offices, resources, clubs, and activities;
3. To facilitate getting to know your classmates;
4. To introduce you to Brown’s expectations about how to live and learn as individuals while respecting others in your new community.
