Many new students who can't wait to be on campus arrive early for one of our Pre-Orientation programs. From volunteering in the community to learning about Wake Forest traditions, exploring the wilderness or meeting students from all over the world, we have a program for that.
The Class of 2023 came to campus with everything they needed to survive in a residence hall…and then some.
New students have fun navigating the orientation process, meeting their new classmates and learning what it means to bleed Old Gold and Black.
Our newest Deacs sign the Honor Code, pen a letter to their future selves and learn the Alma Mater at New Student Convocation.
