international student orientation
august 23-26,2012
In just a few short weeks, you will begin your college adventure at Huntington University. Our orientation program is designed to help you adjust academically, personally, socially, and spiritually.
We want to help you understand necessary policies and procedures while familiarizing you with campus services and opportunities. And of course, we can’t forget the importance of having you meet faculty, staff and other students!
Orientation is for all new international students - Commuter and Transfer students too!
The final orientation schedule will be posted soon. Meanwhile, please refer to the sample schedule below.
