Orientation for First-Year Students

Get Started at BW

First-year students are those incoming students who will be starting their first semester of college in the fall of 2026.

Orientation is an important first step in your BW experience! It offers helpful information about college life, as well as the opportunity to meet other first-year students, faculty and staff.

Parents and family members have concurrent orientation programming that provides useful information and opportunity to learn about the parent and family role in a student’s experience.
