Orientation for Families
Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024
Welcome to the Salve Regina family! We view our relationship with families as a partnership through which we seek to create the optimal support system for all students.
Our one-day orientation for families will provide the information and resources you need to support your student during their critical first year. Offered by the Office of Student Engagement in collaboration with a variety of campus partners, the day will include informative sessions designed to welcome you to Salve Regina, answer your questions and prepare you and your student for the college experience.
