After ID photos and some general "housekeeping", and meeting up, our newest Falcons made their way to Weston Auditorium where they received boisterous welcome remarks from Associate Dean for [Student Development](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/campus-life/office-student-development) Michael Kennedy, Associate Vice President for [Academic Affairs](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-affairs) Franca Barricelli, and Vice President for [Student Affairs](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/student-support/student-affairs) Laura Bayless. After the introduction of our Orientation Leaders, groups ventured out to the quad for some ice breaker activities, then off to a day full of information sessions and activities. ![Image_104-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1735-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_104-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1735-PM.jpg?width=1171&height=734&name=Image_104-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1735-PM.jpg) ![Image_009-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-0975-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_009-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-0975-PM.jpg?width=1249&height=843&name=Image_009-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-0975-PM.jpg) ![Image_003-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1367-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_003-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1367-PM.jpg?width=1445&height=898&name=Image_003-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1367-PM.jpg) ![Image_114-4](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_114-4.jpg?width=766&height=512&name=Image_114-4.jpg) ![Image_111-3](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_111-3.jpg?width=774&height=596&name=Image_111-3.jpg) ![Image_019-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-0962-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_019-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-0962-PM.jpg?width=467&height=376&name=Image_019-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-0962-PM.jpg) ![Image_024-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1591-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_024-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1591-PM.jpg?width=908&height=1388&name=Image_024-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1591-PM.jpg) ![Image_032-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-3931-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_032-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-3931-PM.jpg?width=808&height=1376&name=Image_032-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-3931-PM.jpg) ![Image_035-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-5801-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_035-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-5801-PM.jpg?width=1546&height=1031&name=Image_035-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-5801-PM.jpg) ![Image_068-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1630-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_068-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1630-PM.jpg?width=1546&height=1003&name=Image_068-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-1630-PM.jpg) ![Image_055-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-5726-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_055-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-5726-PM.jpg?width=987&height=1393&name=Image_055-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-5726-PM.jpg) ![Image_072-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-4680-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_072-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-4680-PM.jpg?width=1006&height=755&name=Image_072-Jun-13-2024-05-16-19-4680-PM.jpg) [![Admissions and Aid](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/376696/c4e95cbd-cae3-49e0-9ec1-bd132779309c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/376696/c4e95cbd-cae3-49e0-9ec1-bd132779309c) Topics: [Admissions](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/admissions), [Information Session](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/information-session) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
