The Office of Orientation and Transition is offering two, one-time, grants of $500 to help fund Welcome Week programs that provide a glimpse into academic, social, athletic, cultural, artistic and wellness facets of life on campus.

If you are unable to come during our scheduled hours you have the option to pick up a bag of food at the Union Services Desk.

This summer, the campus will be filled with New Student Orientation session students so when you see wide-eyed students wandering the campus, give them an encouraging smile and flash them the U.

If you missed out on this year’s event, read or listen to Rev. France A. Davis’ speech on unity and student speaker Alisa Cloward’s message about hard work and supporting the success of others.

Civil rights activist Rev. France A. Davis gave the keynote address at commencement and challenged graduates to “find a way to bring us together.”

Alisa Cloward, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, was chosen as the student speaker.

Chemistry Chair Cynthia Burrows received the 2019 Rosenblatt Prize and was honored during the 2019 commencement ceremony for transcending ordinary teaching, research and administrative efforts.
