New Student Orientation
We’ll help new students prepare for their first year at Carthage through a few pre-arrival orientation sessions held virtually in August and New Student Orientation, which will take place on campus August 24-27, 2024.
Orientation is all about getting you ready for success in your classes, answering your questions, making sure you know about campus resources, and helping you connect with your classmates and make friends. We’re going to do all that and more!
