ORIENTATION IS MORE THAN A WEEK!
Orientation is more than a week! The beauty of Duke is that there are endless resources and opportunities available to students, and it will take far more than a week (or semester) to discover them. The office of New Student and Family Programs partners with a host of campus partners to make sure that you are introduced to the campus resources you need the most when the time is right.
This fall, we’re excited to introduce Welcome Weeks. Throughout the first month of the fall semester, some of the largest on-campus partners will host weeks dedicated to introducing you to their work, organizations, and clubs. Go ahead and save the dates to learn more about these areas of the Duke Experience. More information will be available through Duke Groups and in later communication about the activities hosted each week.
