ADDITIONAL
ORIENTATION ACTIVITIES
In addition to the
structured part of the program, there are several other activities
happening during orientation in which you can participate.
Guest
Orientation
Parents, guardians, and spouses are welcome to attend orientation to
learn more about the opportunities and resources available to the
student. Faculty members, staff, and student orientation staff will be
available to assist you and your family throughout the day. There will
be a special session for parents during the new student orientation
session. The orientation program involves several presentation, and
younger children will get bored. We do not provide daycare services or
activities for them, and therefore encourage you to have someone care
for them during your orientation session.

Evening entertainment is offered 8-10 p.m. in the evening prior to the
June and July orientation sessions in Newman Hall. This is a wonderful
opportunity to begin meeting other USI student, both current and new.
Whether you are staying in campus housing for orientation, staying
somewhere else in Evansville, or live locally, make plans to
attend.

appointments on a walk-in basis. There is no need to make an advance
appointment.
