Orientation

Congratulations on your acceptance to Wellesley College! We are incredibly excited to welcome you in the fall. Please check this website periodically during the winter and early spring months, as it will be updated regularly.

Get ready for your first taste of the Wellesley community!

The New Student Orientation program is designed to help you, as a new student, begin your transition into college and to find a sense of belonging at Wellesley. The program has something for all of our new students including domestic, transfer, Davis Scholar, and international students. Our program events, conversations, and activities will help you enrich your Wellesley experience and feel at home in our diverse community.

Specific programs are designed to:

• Introduce you to our Wellesley College community, shared values, and rich tradition

• Provide opportunities for you to establish meaningful personal connections with students, faculty, and others in the extended Wellesley family

• Familiarize you with the campus and its resources, including academic advising and support services

• Prepare you to become actively engaged in this community of lifelong learners as you embark on your liberal arts education
