Connect U - part of Fall 2025 Orientation

Feeling a bit out of place? You’re not alone.
Starting university can be a rollercoaster — new people, new routines, maybe a new city or country. Whether you're from down the street or across the globe, adjusting to campus life can feel like stepping into a whole new world.

Join fellow first-year students and some awesome upper-year mentors for a fun, eye-opening session led by a skilled community builder. Through games, conversation, and unexpected twists, you’ll explore how culture shapes the way we see, speak, and connect — and leave with fresh insight into yourself and the people around you. Come curious. Leave connected.

We’ll wrap up the afternoon with a pizza dinner and an optional tour of the campus (tour begins at 4 p.m.)

Presented by Campus Life and the Student Mentor Program
