orientation day

New student welcome

Orientation day is a scheduled event, typically at schools, universities, or workplaces, when newcomers are introduced to their new environment.

The day usually includes tours, introductions to key people and resources, and explanations of rules and expectations.

Freshman orientation day was overwhelming but helped me find my way around campus.

The goal is to ease the transition and help people feel prepared before regular activities begin.
