New Student will be held Thursday, August 15 and Friday, August 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A continental breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided both days during orientation. Dress comfortably, but be aware some of the buildings may be chilly so you may want to bring a light jacket. Pictures will be taken on Thursday morning for the Brite Student Gallery.
