Family Orientation

Front of Wentworth Hall

Families are an important part of a student's transition to college, so there will be plenty of ways for you to stay informed and be involved throughout the summer. Starting in May and continuing through August, families will receive monthly emails from Wentworth with details about upcoming deadlines, the arrival timeline, and more. During that same time, we will host monthly virtual Q&A panels and info sessions so you can get answers to any questions you may have. 

Families are encouraged to create an account on our Family Portal. You will be able to use the portal to stay up to date on Wentworth news and important information, manage your communication preferences, and sign up for Family Weekend. It is a great place to learn about family-related programming, keep track of important reminders each semester, and view some commonly used resources. 

We also encourage families to join for our Family Orientation program, which will take place on campus in June while your students are participating in New Student Orientation. Students will attend one of the orientation programs below. Click here to see a schedule of Family Orientation info sessions, which will be held from approximately 10am-1:30pm on the first day of each orientation session and will give families the chance to talk with a variety of campus resources. Click the hyperlinks on each session title to view a tentative schedule. 

Students are provided with housing on campus for overnight orientation sessions, but families traveling to the area will be responsible for their own lodging. A list of local hotels is below.
