New Student Programs – 410-704-2309

Welcome to Towson is Towson University’s orientation for new students. The Welcome to Towson program includes Opening Weekend and the first week of classes. The programs and events of Welcome to Towson are specifically designed to give you all the resources and connections you need to be a successful member of the TU community.

• Welcome to Towson
  

Mark your calendar now! As a new student, you are expected to participate in Welcome to Towson. While it is not mandatory for you to attend all of the events of the first week, we expect you to reserve Opening Weekend (Thursday, August 28; Friday, August 29; and Saturday, August 30) for key orientation activities. Here is what we have planned:

Opening Weekend

All new students, whether resident or commuter, are expected to pick up their Welcome to Towson packet at the University Union on Thursday, August 28. This packet will include a detailed Opening Weekend schedule, a paper copy of your course schedule, and a course catalog. You will need these materials in preparation for several important meetings on Friday and Saturday.

Key events of Opening Weekend include:

• Meeting your Orientation Leader (OL). Your OL is an upper-class student who will assist you throughout your first semester at TU. 
• Meeting with your academic adviser to review your fall term schedule of courses and make any necessary adjustments.
• Attending New Student Convocation, the official beginning of your Towson University academic career.
• Other events include the Welcome Carnival, New Student Conference, and Casino Night!

The First Week of Class

As well as attending your first week of class, make sure you plan on attending some of the other programs and events of the first week. You will receive the September Celebration book in your Welcome to Towson packet. This book will give details on:

• Student Government Association (SGA) events
• First meetings of student clubs and organizations
• Office and department open houses
• Pep Rally for Towson’s first home football game
• Tons of opportunities for free food and prizes!
