Pride Experience Orientation Programs

Every journey begins with a first step. That's where your Pride Experience Orientation programming comes in.

From the moment you're admitted to the first day of classes, there's a lot to take in—people, places, all the things you need to prep for success. That's why we offer several orientation programs, each one designed to help you gradually acclimate to every aspect of life at Widener. Be ready for a roaring good time!

Eager to engage with Widener? Join us for Admitted Student Day or our 1821 Pre-Orientation Experience — complementary experiences to build excitement and clarity to ease you into your college experience.

What to Expect During Orientation

During Orientation, you'll begin to establish three essential foundations for your Widener journey:

• Your Community: With every visit to campus, you'll meet—and start to recognize— friendly faces of fellow students, faculty, and staff, and begin building meaningful relationships with future friends and mentors.
• Your Support System: You'll learn about the full range of academic, social, physical, and emotional wellbeing resources and opportunities available and how to leverage each one.
• Your Campus: Familiarizing yourself with campus over the course of multiple visits will make navigation effortless once classes begin. You'll know exactly how to get where you need to go.

Meet Your Go-To Orientation Teams

With the Office of Student Engagement and student C.R.E.W. Leaders as your guides, our Widener community will quickly feel like a second family.
