New Roo Experience

New Roo Orientation Overview

At orientation, you will have an opportunity to connect with current students, staff members, and some of your new fellow Zips. You will be connected with an Orientation Leader who will lead you through orientation and will continue to be a resource throughout the summer, and you’ll have a chance to tour campus or residence halls.

We'll lead you through every step of the way, and we encourage you to ask questions – we’re here for you!
