Summer Orientation

Program Overview

Summer Orientation is a program designed for new students and their parent(s).  Each one-day Summer Orientation session is designed to promote the student’s personal academic success and individual development.  Students will participate in a series of informative presentations, receive a campus tour and learn from student leaders about their experience as students at Carleton.
