Opening Days Kick-off Events

2013 Summer Kick-Off Schedule

You and your family are encouraged to meet other new students and families from your area who will also be joining the Willamette community this fall. Current students and alumni will talk about their first-year experiences at Willamette, and Willamette staff will share information about housing, registration, Opening Days, the College Colloquium and other topics.

Email invitations will be sent to new students living near these kick-off events approximately three weeks in advance.
