Redhawk Launch - Join us on campus this Summer!

July 1-2, July 15-16, July 18-19

Redhawk Launch is a two-day experience for you and your family to join us on campus in July. You’ll make new friends while participating in workshops led by faculty and staff focused on academic success and navigating the realities of college life. Students also stay in a residence hall overnight! Family members will attend sessions that explore resources to help them support you during your transition. A few quick things to remember:

• RSVPs for Redhawk Launch go live Monday, May 20, 2024. You can sign up to attend Redhawk Launch through your Orientation Portal. Please do not finalize travel plans before you sign up, as space is limited.
• We strongly encourage you and your family to attend Redhawk Launch so you can learn about essential campus resources and find your flock of new friends, however, participation is not required.
• We recognize not all students and families can travel to campus in July. A one-day Redhawk Launch will be held on September 20. Sign-up priorities for this session are given to international students and far-flying Redhawks from out-of-state.

Virtual Events Schedule

The virtual Orientation events schedule includes the following opportunities to connect with fellow Redhawks and learn about campus resources:

• Flock Talks: Join these virtual meetups to connect with fellow new Redhawks while chatting with an Orientation Leader about topics related to your transition to college life.
• Campus Resource Workshops: Throughout the summer, you can participate in workshops where you’ll meet with university leaders to learn about academic, financial, and support resources.
• Student Club Socials: In August and early September, meet current Redhawks to learn about clubs and organizations you can join on campus.
