Fall Welcome 2023
Fall Welcome takes place from Saturday, September 16 – Sunday, September 24. This event series consists of engagement opportunities that will provide an exciting transition experience for new students. Fall Welcome includes signature events, Seattle U traditions, orientation groups, social events, and community meals. All events are designed with the purpose to meet new students' needs, learn about the culture at Seattle U, and build meaningful connections. We can't wait to see you in September!
Seattle University Orientation Guide
We are excited to launch the Seattle University Orientation Guide – the home of the Fall Welcome schedule, and so much more! By using our Guide, you will have access to the Fall Welcome schedule (coming later in Summer 2023) and additional transition support resources readily available on your phone or computer whenever you need it! Students can “save” sessions to attend, while your supporters can see what opportunities are available for you. There will also be “tracks” you can follow depending on your interests or class grouping. We will also inform you of any last-minute reminders or schedule changes (sometimes it rains in Seattle!) with app notifications. The Orientation Guide is your complete go-to Fall Welcome resource!
