First Year Student Summer Orientation
Summer Orientation is an exciting opportunity to become more familiar with BW's programs and people just when it can help the most - in the "calm" of the summer. You will meet current students who serve as Summer Orientation Leaders, register for classes and be able to experience a day and a half of college life. It will include helpful information about the upcoming college experience, interaction with BW students, faculty, and staff, and shared time with other new students who will join you in the Fall of 2013. You will stay in one of the Residence Halls and get a sampling of college food and college fun!
Whether you are selecting to be a resident or commuter student in the fall, you are required to participate in the summer orientation and spend the night on campus.
2013 Summer Orientation Dates:
- June 28-29
- July 12-13
- July 19-20
- August 2-3
