How does IU help students adjust to college when they arrive in the fall?
Welcome Week, a comprehensive, five-day orientation program, begins on August 27, the day that students move into their residence halls. Directed by professional staff and current undergraduate students, Welcome Week includes information sessions, tours, and open houses as well as academic, cultural, and social events. Some events are required and some are optional, but all are designed to get students acquainted with IU. Welcome Week is a great way for your child to interact with other new students as they learn about IU. Family members are invited to the kick-off events: the Freshman Induction Ceremony and the Induction Picnic, where you’ll see your child off as he or she begins adjusting to the new world of college.
