Our orientation programs are designed to prepare our incoming Falcons to get off to a great start in their time at Fitchburg State. These activities will familiarize you with what to expect from your on-campus experiences, from the classroom to the campus center, whether you're living in one of our residence halls or commuting. You will also learn about the array of support services we have created to help you achieve all of your goals at the university. 

Are you a first-year student? Do you want to see your room prior to your arrival in the fall? Come to this event, where visitors may see the size and layout of their rooms, visit common areas, meet future classmates, and more.

The Career Services and Advising Center invites faculty and staff to participate in the Career Champions program. This professional development program connects and engages faculty and staff who are actively assisting students in determining and reaching their career goals. The content of the program focuses on building knowledge of career development theories, learning strategies to incorporate career learning into your practice and creating a plan for implementing these strategies.

The Falcon Experience is our fall orientation and will take place Monday, Sept. 1 - Wednesday, Sept. 3. More details to follow.
