Fall Orientation
August 20 -23, 2010
Fall Orientation gives our newest community members the chance to get to know the ins and outs of the JSC campus and campus life before classes begin.
Tours, information sessions, book discussion groups and more help make this event fun and informative and help take some of the stress out of starting a new semester!
