Student Schedule
New Student Orientation is our way of introducing you to Hope’s traditions, experiences and current students — and the campus you’ll call home.
New Student Orientation will take place right after you move in, with events scheduled
throughout the weekend to help make the initial transition to college as smooth as
possible. The goal is to welcome you to Hope College and give you a group of people
to be able to recognize as familiar faces within your first few weeks on campus. The
weekend schedule includes a mixture of team meetings, time to socialize, academic
introductions and some downtime to get settled into your new home!
In addition to the events planned through the regular orientation program, we have several opportunities designed specifically for transfer students. As a transfer student, we know you don't need a welcome to college — but you do need a welcome to Hope. New Student Orientation will provide that.
