New Student Orientation

Summer Orientation: Friday, June 16, 2023

Summer Orientation is a day for incoming Fall 2023 new students and their families that you won’t want to miss! You’ll have the opportunity to meet your roommate, check out your future room, get to know faculty and staff, and meet new friends. Take this opportunity to learn what resources are available to help you succeed over the next few years. Along the way, you will begin to feel the pulse of the SAU community and become an integral part of it. We are excited to welcome you as a future SAU Cougar as you make SAU your new home. Go Cougs!
