Greetings from the Orientation Office
First, I congratulate you on your admission to Bloomsburg! With the array of educational options out there, I'm thrilled you have chosen to pursue your education with us. The Orientation Office is here to provide you with all of the knowledge, resources and opportunities you'll need to begin and progress your academic career at BU.
To the left, you'll find links to various campus and community resources to help you get ready for your BU experience. It's never too early to connect with the campus!
We host several Preview Days during the summer to acquaint you with the campus prior to your official start date. We also host a comprehensive Orientation program prior to the start of school in the fall and spring. These programs provide you and your family an opportunity to meet with faculty and current students, tour the campus and learn about many of the activities and support services we have in place to ensure your success.
Please check our Web site frequently to find the Preview Day that best suits your schedule and to register for Orientation once the registration period begins. In the meantime, I encourage you and your parents to review the "New at BU" Orientation Guide as one of your first introductions to your new campus community.
We're anxiously awaiting your arrival! Bring your Husky spirit, positive attitude and an open mind, but most importantly, feel free to Be You, at BU!
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. We're anxiously awaiting your arrival!
Sincerely,
Kristin Austin
