欢迎周

欢迎周 — New Student Orientation

欢迎周 is SBU’s new student orientation program. 欢迎周 will take place August 17 through August 20 for fall 2023 incoming students.

欢迎周 provides a great opportunity for new students, both freshmen and transfer students, to become better acquainted with SBU and with one another. 周末的 events will help you meet new friends, make the transition academically, and provide opportunities for you to begin thinking about what it means to follow Christ in a collegiate environment.

What Students Are Saying

"欢迎周 helped me feel like I was already part of a group before classes even 开始. It helped me see a familiar face even if I didn't know them that well." — Landree Garrison

"My 欢迎周 group was basically my first friend group on campus. 有这样的 group to live life with the first semester was incredibly impactful. My leaders reach out to me to this day and communicate with us honestly, which made the whole experience even more impactful." — Addison Palmer

"欢迎周 helped me get comfortable with SBU. It helped me get out of my shell and gave me knowledge about the new clubs I've joined. It showed me that there are people who I can go to if I need help or someone to talk to." — Angela Anderson
