First-Year and Transfer Orientation
We're so excited to get to know you during "First Bite" Orientation!
Orientation is the official start of your Simmons journey!
First Bite Orientation is your formal introduction to the Simmons University community! During the program, you will have the opportunity to meet faculty, staff, student leaders, and future classmates. This is your first opportunity to meet the people who will be your life-long friends, create memories, learn about your community responsibilities, discover resources, and support services, and perhaps most importantly, have fun!
June Orientation 2024
Our June Orientation was a success! But if you missed it or want to review some of the information presented by our campus partners, you can check out our virtual orientation video or see us during one of our drop-in sessions (below!). Your orientation leader will also be reaching out to you in mid-July.
