New Student, Transfer Student and Family Orientation
Welcome to Marquette University!
Thursday, August 24 to Sunday, August 27, 2023
New Student Orientation is an exciting event for the Marquette community. New Student Orientation includes five days of activities designed to introduce all new students (first-year and transfer) to our academic excellence, vibrant campus life and community involvement that constitute the Marquette tradition.
