Orientation is your opportunity to connect with fellow Knights and their families, explore campus resources, and begin building your Neumann community. Our Welcome Programs, held during the first week of each semester, are designed to help you settle in, get involved, and feel supported as you start your Neumann journey. From engaging events to valuable connections, these programs will ensure you feel prepared, confident, and excited for the experiences ahead.
