Applications will be available starting Monday, February 12

The Orientation Team will welcome and introduce all entering students and their families to Hobart and William Smith Colleges!

The O-Team works directly with Student Engagement and campus collaborators to welcome new students and their families to the HWS community! New student orientation will take place from Sunday, August 18 through Sunday, August 25. Following this week-long experience, O-Team members will facilitate new student outreach coordinated by Student Engagement during the first 3 weeks of the semester. The O-Team will assist with providing on-going support, encouragement, and resources to new students. Some examples include sending emails and text messages, bringing new students to Involvement Expo, meeting for a meal on campus, attending a campus event together. This continued outreach helps to ensure a smooth transition to the academic year and campus life.
