Syracuse Welcome is Syracuse University’s new student orientation program, and last week, more than 4,000 first-year students arrived on campus to begin their Orange journey. The week began with move-in proceedings at the various residence halls across campus, with more than 500 student volunteers with the Goon Squad greeting new students and lending a hand during move-in.
Syracuse Welcome was filled with programs designed to introduce new students and their family members to life on campus through academic and social events, including the annual New Student Convocation held inside the JMA Wireless Dome. Check out some of the best photos from Syracuse Welcome.
