Fall Opening
Fall Opening has something for everyone!
Enrollment Management and Student Affairs has activities and programming for all students kicking off the fall 2023 semester. We know this is a busy time, so we've called in our best employees and students to help you navigate campus and all its excitement (with a splash of chaos). You'll discover opportunities to get involved, go swimming in the lazy river at the ARC, get information about campus resources, blow off some steam at the Oak Street Roast and so much more.
We are here for you and we want your semester to be more amazing than you could imagine.
