Gillings School Welcome and Orientation Events
Welcome! We're so happy you're here.
Orientation is an exciting and important start to your experience as a student at Gillings.
All new students are expected to attend and actively participate in all sessions.
Please note that these are the only times during which orientation sessions will occur, and you are highly encouraged to attend all in-person/online synchronous sessions.
Please note that you will receive a specific agenda directly from your department/concentration with all of your other degree or concentration-specific orientation events.
