Welcome to Eastern!

The primary goal for the orientation program is to provide various opportunities for new students to learn methods for academic and social success at Eastern Connecticut State University. Student Orientation leaders meet with new and transfer students and parents in small group settings to familiarize them with Eastern's academic opportunities, student support services, and acquaint them with the aims, resources, policies, and procedures of the University. Additionally, the program assists students to get to know each other, their student leaders, and the faculty and staff. Aspects of the program, designed to help students succeed in college, are extended to the Fall Welcome Weekend and throughout the year.
