Our faculty, staff, and students look forward to meeting you in August. One group that is particularly excited to meet you is the Orientation Team!
Orientation at Salem is a two-day online introduction to the Salem community, including academics and social life. During New Student Orientation, you will meet your Orientation Leaders, your Academic Advisor, and many other members of the Salem community.
