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. 

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. Family Orientation info sessions 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. 

  • Overnight Orientation Session 1: June 9-10
  • Overnight Orientation Session 2: June 12-13
  • Overnight Orientation Session 3: June 16-17
  • One-Day In-Person Orientation: June 18 (open to students who live less than 50 miles from campus)
  • Virtual Orientation Info Sessions: June 24 (open to students who live more than 500 miles from campus)
