Fall Orientation, also known as Pride Experience II, is your official welcome to Widener University. The program will be held in-person and is designed to give students the opportunity to meet new classmates, get connected to campus resources, and make a smooth transition into college. The Pride Experience II: Fall Orientation Program will kick off our Weeks of Welcome initiative for first-year students. Our Weeks of Welcome Program will expand through September and October.

Fall Orientation is led by the Orientation Team in the Office of Student Engagement with the help of our student C.R.E.W. Leaders. Have a question about Orientation? There are your go-to teams for support.
