Orientation Videos (recorded in July 2025)
These sessions were recorded during the optional New Student Orientation program offered to students and families/supporters in the College of Arts & Sciences | Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the School of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications during the month of July 2025.
We thought the information may be helpful to all families/supporters as their student transitions to Syracuse University.
