Welcome to New Student Orientation! 2020 Orientation for all new students will be Monday, August 24th through Tuesday, August 25th. One of the most exciting journeys of your life - your undergraduate experience - is about to begin, and we are thrilled that you have chosen to attend Salem! 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. You will attend your first Salem Impact class, enjoy community building with your class, and experience some favorite Salem traditions. By the time classes begin, we trust that you will feel settled and welcomed as a Salem sister. See you soon!
