| New students cannot learn everything about what it takes to have a successful college experience in a few days before the semester even starts. Therefore, new student orientation programming continues through the fall. In this way, you can continue to learn while you are experiencing what it is actually like to be a student at Wake Forest. | Several fall semester Orientation events are required. Please be sure these interesting and important programs are on your calendar! |
