Why do I need to attend fall orientation?
Fall orientation is a required jam-packed and exciting four days where you will bond and connect with other incoming students and current students, faculty, staff, and community members. You will become a part of the Cap Family. You will also have the opportunity to discuss the summer reading, engage with faculty outside the classroom, go on an excursion, see a hypnotist, attend a bonfire, make an ice cream sundae, take a haunted tour of Capital, and much more. Orientation leaders, upper class students, are here to assist and guide you throughout this journey. Some of you will make lasting relationships with your orientation leaders. Most of all you will be prepared to start your new journey!
Should my parents, family members, and friends come with me?
Yes! You are starting a new journey here at Capital University and your parents and family members want to join in that journey. On August 23, 2012, current students, members of ROTC, orientation leaders, and faculty will help you move-in. This is an opportunity for you to spend time with parents, friends, and family members prior to the start of school. Parents and family members are welcomed to the Cap Family with an afternoon barbeque. However, we understand this is a personal decision between you and your family. There are no fees for parents, family members, or friends to attend the August 23, 2012 orientation day.
