Working 9 (days) to 5 (days): Reimagining the Fall Orientation Model

In the Spring of 2023, the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of the Provost tasked an Orientation Working Group to reimagine orientation from an eight-to-nine-day program to a two-to-three-day program for new undergraduates.
