Welcome, New Brunonians! 

Brown University's New Student Orientation & Weeks of Welcome program is designed to set incoming first-year and transfer students up 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, First Readings, 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 boat tours of Providence, 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.

By weaving these three pillars 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.
