Benefits of Participating
Orientation is the best way to learn about the resources available to you as a St. Kate’s student and prepare to start your program. New students appreciate the opportunity to connect with University staff and faculty — it makes it easier to reach out when you need them.
Come prepared with your questions, as this is your chance to make sure you have all of the answers you need to start the semester off right.
