On the second day of orientation, new students will consider what it means, as life-long learners and critical thinkers, to grow intellectually, emotionally, socially, and ethically at Occidental College.
Students will engage in peer-to-peer Oxy culture and experience conversations with returning students and hear an introduction to the Community Book Program. Sessions will also feature the Intercultural Community Center, First Gen Coalition, and POC student leaders presenting on equity, inclusion, and affinity/identity programming.
New Student Orientation is meant to create a dynamic, celebratory, and welcoming environment—a space where you can explore how to make informed academic decisions and responsible social choices by tapping into resources and services offered by the College. By building a sense of community that connects you to faculty, staff, administrators, and fellow Oxy students, New Student Orientation is representative of our commitment to equity, excellence, and service.
