The purpose of the New Student Reader Program is to orient new students to our academic community at Salisbury University by having a common reading experience with fellow classmates, faculty, staff, and upper-class students who serve as orientation team peer leaders. The goal of the New Student Reader Program is to engage students in discussions, projects, curricular and co-curricular opportunities generated by a common reading experience.

After your new student orientation ends, the campus prepares for all students to return and kicks off a week of welcome back events during the first week of classes. All new and returning students are welcome to attend any and all events hosted by the Welcome Week Committee - this is a great way to connect with your new friends and to make connections with upper-class students. We encourage all new students to attend the Student Activities Fair during Welcome Week.  This is a fun and easy opportunity for you to find out what different clubs and organizations are on campus and to get connected.
