Freshman Orientation Program

Warren College is excited to welcome you to our campus community. Freshman Orientation provides students the opportunity to meet other incoming students beginning their first year at Warren College. The programs, speakers, and activities scheduled for the two-day Orientation program will focus on the issues and resources that are most important to new students. Freshman Orientation is also a great way to find out how you can become involved on campus and speak to current UC San Diego students, staff, and faculty.

Mark your calendar - The 2013 Freshman Orientation Program will be held Thursday, September 19-Friday, September 20, 2013.
