Summer is finally here, and West Chester University is preparing to welcome its newest class of Golden Rams.

One of the more exciting events this summer is our New Student Orientation. Throughout June and July, the Office of New Student Programs hosts students and their families for a series of one-day orientation sessions. It’s a chance for students to meet their academic advisors and familiarize themselves with campus and the resources available to them throughout their tenure at WCU. These connections help students build a strong foundation for the next phase in their education. It also helps introduce them to employees from across campus who volunteer their time to help guide students through the day.  

We’ll also see a younger contingent on campus throughout the summer as we’re offering more than 20 summer camps to keep students from ages 7-22 mentally and physically active this summer. The camps are taught by expert faculty, student-athletes and local professionals and cover a wide range of topics, like music, theatre, art, and sports.  

Campus is quieter over the summer months, but it’s wonderful to see future Golden Rams explore and prepare to join our community in the fall.
