Syracuse Welcome 2009: Thursday, August 27-Sunday, August 30
All first-year SU students are required to participate in the online AlcoholEDU program before arriving on campus. This curriculum is designed to help students learn the medical and science-based information needed to make responsible decisions regarding alcohol.
When you arrive at SU, you will quickly find that there are so many options for connecting with your classmates-both in and out of class-you probably couldn't count them all. Yet there is one, new experience that the entire entering class will share, appropriately dubbed the Shared First-Year Experience. This is a cultural event held in downtown Syracuse featuring a major, internationally prominent artist whose work serves as a touchstone for students from all backgrounds, as well as for the array of academic disciplines and intellectual traditions represented across the University.
Syracuse Welcome 2009, Syracuse University’s New Student Orientation program, officially begins Thursday, August 27. Syracuse Welcome is designed to assist our new and transfer students in their transition to SU through academic and social programming. Your New Student Orientation Schedule and Guide will provide you with a complete schedule of events.

To help you get ready for your arrival on campus, we've prepared a list of packing suggestions and other helpful information on what to bring.
My personality is what initially helped me to find my niche. I met my friends usually by introducing myself as "My name is Annu, like 'a new' day". My passion in medicine and humanitarianism inspired me to network with local hospitals, and to promote literacy through the International Young Scholars Program.
