Early Mini Orientation for Parents/Family

Trip Description

Trip Details

We have prepared an Early Mini-Orientation for families of students who plan to attend an Early Connections Pre-Orientation Opportunity.  This special orientation session is being held because we do not expect families to make a second visit to Potsdam on Friday, August 22nd, although you are welcome to do so.  This year we are offering two Early Mini-Orientations for those who are arriving on Sunday, August 17th and for those who are arriving on Wednesday, August 20th.  Your son/daughter will receive a detailed schedule from the program coordinators this summer, which will include the time they can move into their rooms.
