Welcome, New Brunonians! 

Brown University's New Student Orientation & Weeks of Welcome program is designed to set up incoming first-year and transfer students for success. The New Brunonian Experience is framed by three learning pillars:

• The academic preparedness pillar equips students with the tools and knowledge to navigate Brown's Open Curriculum, and includes sessions exploring open inquiry, academic advising, course registration, and more.
• The community connections pillar focuses on building relationships, fostering dialogue across difference, and involvement opportunities that will help students feel at home. From traditions like our Orientation Dance and Move-in Ice Cream Social, to newer signature events like tours of Providence and the Neighborhood Rally, Brown students make new friends, explore Brown and Providence, and find their community of belonging.
• Finally, our campus resources pillar introduces new students to the wide array of support services, wellness offerings, and engagement options available to enrich their Brown experience. We emphasize resource- and help- seeking as success strategies for all students. 

By weaving these three learning priorities throughout our summer onboarding, six-day orientation, and September Weeks of Welcome programming, new Brunonians students enjoy a supportive, engaging, and memorable experience that empowers them to thrive as they transition to Brown.
