Athletics Week Ahead
Get ready to start the semester right! Our drive-through New Student Orientation will give you the chance to pick up university resources and some fun swag to show off your PNW Pride.
New Student Orientation will take place the first two weeks of August, with each eligible student receiving an email sharing your assigned date and time slot. To promote good health and social distancing, it’s important that you arrive at the time assigned to you.
