Orientation will be on January 11-14 for Spring 2027 incoming students.
The program kicks off with an informative and social week-long orientation. During the week-long introduction to the program, you’ll get to know other new students and gain a sense of what the classroom experience will hold. The orientation features team-building exercises and lectures, and workshops on special topics, including a thorough overview of the job market and career resources.
