Genesis

A pre-orientation program for underrepresented students and their families

This optional pre-orientation program is held on Thursday and Friday before Freshman Arrival Day, Saturday. It is designed for underrepresented students, including students of color and students who are the first in their families to attend a four-year college. Genesis will help you become familiar with the resources available to help you transition to college.

Genesis includes workshops and activities addressing team-building, support networks, academic success, financial wellness and cross-cultural understanding.

Genesis includes a segment for parents and guardians, giving them an opportunity to meet with the academic deans and administrators from various offices on campus.

Participants will be able to move into their rooms on Thursday, the first day of the program. Parents are encouraged to stay to participate in the activities of Arrival Day. View a listing of overnight accommodations for families.
