Undergraduate Student Orientation 2008

Pre-ordered linens may be picked up in Room 001 Faunce House during the hours shown here: Tuesday 8/26 through Friday 8/29 – 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Saturday August 30 – 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, Sunday August 31 – 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Brown University’s Orientation is a collaborative effort of the offices of the Dean of the College and of Campus Life and Student Services.  Every part of our campus community - the faculty, staff, and a legion of student peer advisors including the Orientation Welcoming Committee (OWC) - is looking forward to welcoming you to Brown, whether as a first-year student, a transfer or visiting student, or as a Resumed Undergraduate Education student.

Orientation is planned 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.

Here are some helpful dates for your calendar:

Pre-Orientation Programs in which students may elect to participate will begin several days prior to Orientation.
