Welcome Days Schedule
Welcome Days, Aug. 18 and Aug. 19, are the kick off to Orientation week and include activities for new students and families such as first-year residential move-in, Orientation check-in, a resource fair, Welcome to RIT presentation, and social programming for students and families. All programming is repeated each day to provide the same experience no matter which day you will arrive on campus. We suggest you attend programming on your student's move-in day, but are welcome to attend either day. If you have a late move-in time, plan on attending activities prior to moving in or on the opposite day. You can find the Welcome Days schedule on the Orientation website.
