New Student Orientation Spring 2024

Welcome Grizzlies!

Join us for Orientation as we roll out the green carpet to welcome the newest members of the Grizz Fam! Orientation is an exciting and important event for you and your family to explore our beautiful campus, discover your new college community, make connections, and learn even more about our academic programs, housing, money matters, and student life. We are excited to welcome all new students, transfers, the Adams State Class of 2027, and your family members!

There will be scheduled activities for Students and Families. Below you’ll find the Student Track schedule and the Family Track schedule.  There will be times when Students and Families will have the same activities and other times when they differ.
