Connect the Dons
Our community spaces are sessions where current students, alumni, faculty, and staff will share stories, insights, and advice with our newest students. In most sessions, new students will also be able to connect with fellow incoming classmates. Our community spaces are formed around a shared identity or common goal to build community.
- These spaces will take place July 20 - July 29.
