New Student Receptions
From early June to early August, receptions for new students and their families will be held across the country. The 2024 New Student Receptions will be offered virtually and also in person in selected local areas. We hope that every incoming family will join for the virtual option (June 17), or that you’ll register for a local reception should one be offered in your area.

Fall in the Forest
New students cannot learn everything about what it takes to have a successful college experience in a few days before the semester even starts. Therefore, new student orientation programming continues through the fall. In this way, you can continue to learn while you are experiencing what it is actually like to be a student at Wake Forest.
