First and foremost, welcome to the University of Rochester family! Just like your son or daughter, you, too, have chosen a great school. The following pages contain the schedule of presentations for both days of the Parent Orientation program. While reviewing the schedule, you may notice that several sessions are offered at the same time. Sessions occuring simultaneously will be listed in the same programming block. Many sessions are offered twice daily, so please take a moment to plan your own schedule according to your interests. If you are unable to attend a session due to room capacity, volunteers - all wearing their famous yellow t-shirts - will be available to direct you to other presentations. You might also notice that there are two lunch sessions. We ask that you please adhere to the time assigned to you to help alleviate a rush for dining services. Refer to the campus map opposite this page as well as the dining hours chart on the final page of this program to select a dining location that best suits you. At the conclusion of Orientation, you will be emailed a link to an evaluation survey; we’d appreciate your feedback to help make this program better for years to come (Meliora!). Thank you for supporting your student, we are happy to have you here with us!
