The New Student Orientation program is a large and exciting program to welcome all of our incoming first-year, transfer, and international students to the Rose-Hulman community. You'll arrive on campus ahead of returning students so you have time to get to know us and learn about all of the campus resources that are available to you before classes start.
Your Rose-Hulman experience starts here!
