The Pre-Orientation Programs are designed to provide new students with additional support and resources to ease into college. Through each of these six programs, incoming first-year students build strong relationships with their peers who share similar interests, learn about student life at Harvard from upper-level mentors and connect with faculty and professional staff who are invested in their success. Typically, two-thirds of the incoming class apply and participate in one of these optional programs. We encourage you to review the Pre-Orientation Program offerings and apply to the one that is right for you!
