New Student Orientation

Welcome to Bucknell!
We can’t wait to welcome you to campus for New Student Orientation in August!

Every first-year and transfer student participates in this program focused on the three pillars of academics, community, and Bucknell traditions. During New Student Orientation, you’ll bond with classmates through a variety of social and academic events while becoming familiar with Bucknell and the many resources available to you. Your faculty will introduce you to the collegiate classroom, providing information about your fall course schedule and the many academic opportunities Bucknell has to offer. You’ll leave Orientation feeling confident, connected, and ready to find your place in the campus community.

New Student Orientation for the Class of 2030 and new Transfer Students will be held from Wednesday, Aug. 19 - Sunday, Aug. 23.
