First Year Experience & Family Programs
Welcome to freshman year!
Your journey as a Lancer is just beginning, and we're here to help you settle in, make friends, and get involved.
Orientation & New Lancer Days
Orientation is your first official event as a Lancer! You’ll learn all you need to know to make a successful transition to campus.
Then during your first four days at Longwood, you'll have the chance to meet fellow freshmen as well as some other friendly Lancers that know the ropes.
Don't worry—at both Orientation and New Lancer Days, we'll answer all your questions and fully prepare you for your Longwood journey!
