Orientation and Welcome Weekend give you an early taste of campus life! 

These events are designed to help familiarize you with campus, your future classmates, student leaders, faculty, and staff, all before classes begin! Our hope is that by the end of these events, you will: 

  • Connect with your future classmates and student leaders 
  • Discover MSJ’s traditions and campus culture 
  • Engage with faculty, staff, and administrators who will guide your during your college experience 
  • Learn about all the campus resources available to you
All first-time incoming students must attend Orientation and Welcome Weekend. 
  Check Out Monday Memos from the Online Onboarding!

Monday Memos are emailed to our newest Lions to keep them informed, engaged, and prepared for their transition to MSJ. These emails share important deadlines, highlight campus resources, offer tips for success, and build a sense of connection to the campus community before students arrive.
