Updated Summer 2014 Orientation Dates

Starting July 22, over 4,700 new UC Santa Cruz students and over 3,500 family members will be on our campus for Summer Orientation. Students and family members come to Orientation feeling nervous, excited, scared, and anxious. Lets make this transition less stressful and their experience on campus magnificent! If you encounter students or family members around campus, please greet them and ask if they have questions or need help getting somewhere. These gestures are greatly appreciated and foster a sense of welcome and belonging for our new community members, which will stay throughout their years at UCSC.

Update your calendars with the confirmed Summer Orientation dates:

•  Tuesday, July 22 (Frosh Day)

•  Wednesday, July 23 (frosh Day)

*Overnight program participants (Students stay overnight in the residence halls.)

Faculty, staff, and the greater campus community play an invaluable role for students, and your continued participation in Orientation is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, feedback or want to share ideas for future programming, please contact Rosa M. Plaza at rplaza@ucsc.edu.
