Welcome Week
A week full of activities to help you get to know your new home.
We know that students who attend Welcome Week events are more confident when they start classes because they meet new friends, explore academic and co-curricular opportunities, navigate the campus, and learn about the Purchase community.
For additional details, please visit our Instagram: @PurchaseRSL or email jessica.bullock@purchase.edu.
Individuals requiring accommodations for equal access to these events should contact saf.orientation@purchase.edu as soon as possible.
