Fitchburg State University’s Director Nolan Buck and others will participate in the 5K Run to Home Base. All proceeds benefit Home Base, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mental and physical health of veterans. The Run to Home Base, presented by RTX, offers individuals and teams a unique opportunity to participate in a 9K run or 5K run/walk while fundraising to support our mission! The race routes weave through some of Boston's most scenic neighborhoods and ends with participants crossing home plate at historic Fenway. The Run to Home Base is our most critical annual fundraiser, providing vital funds for the clinical care and support for our Veterans and Families who are impacted by the invisible wounds of service.

Come join the Admission Team for college readiness workshops, campus tours, some fun in the sun, and a BBQ lunch on Friday August 1 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. This event is designed to not only allow students to learn more about Fitchburg State, but prepare you for your college search process.

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.
