WELCOME
TO FALL ORIENTATION!
This year’s Orientation theme is PICTURE
YOUR MOMENT and we encourage you to live
that theme to the fullest in the year to come

make your mark here at Simmons. Experience
the best of Simmons by trying new classes,
meeting new people, exploring Boston, and
stepping outside of your comfort zone. At the
same time, make Simmons your new home
and let your own unique personality shine
through.
We are so excited that you are here, and we
look forward to your participation in all aspects
of Orientation. The Office of Student Leadership & Activities and the Orientation Leaders
are ready to assist you, so please do not hesitate to ask questions if you need help.
Orientation will be one of your first
memories of Simmons, and we are
committed to making it one of your fondest!
Have a great year and Go Sharks!
