We are excited to welcome you to campus!

Warrior Welcome, our new student orientation event, is designed to help you make a successful transition to university life. During Warrior Welcome, you’ll explore campus, connect with new friends, and become part of the awesome community Corban is known for.

Your family is also invited to attend. Registration will open this summer.
