This is a great opportunity to get acquainted with faculty and staff, meet other new students, and participate in special academic and social events. Because each campus orientation is a separate event, please contact your campus for dates, times, activities, and venues:
Old Westbury: E-mail the associate dean for campus life or call 516.686.7635.
Manhattan: E-mail the associate dean for campus life or call 212.261.1682.
