Your success at Bryant begins with a strong foundation. From Orientation in June to Welcome Week in the fall, our new student programming is designed to immerse you in the Bryant experience, helping you explore new opportunities and find your footing before classes begin. Our current student leaders, including Orientation and Welcome Week leaders, will guide and support you through each session. We provide resources, support, and information with campus partners to ensure a seamless transition into campus life. 

New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation is your best introduction to life at Bryant. It’s where you’ll connect with fellow students, staff, and faculty, learn about essential resources and opportunities, and discover our engaging campus community. Orientation is required for all new and transfer students and optional for family members.

During Orientation, you’ll meet our Orientation leaders, who will help you explore and adjust to campus life. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, learn about exciting events, and connect with your peers.

“Orientation allows our students to connect with faculty, staff, and peers and forge lifetime connections,” says Dr. Inge-Lise Ameer, Vice President for Student Affairs.
