Upper Year Orientation
Carleton offers a variety of orientation programs for students to help ensure a successful transition into university. This year we are happy to announce that we will be offering an orientation for upper year students. Students will have the chance to participate in programming with a focus on building their network, making connections, and gaining the necessary skills that will help them succeed during their time at university and preparing for their career after Carleton.
Upper Year Orientation is now SOLD OUT! Check out the Return of the Ravens program kicking off on September 7th for free events to welcome students back to the on-campus Carleton experience.
