O-Leader Connections
Keep an eye out for a welcome message from your O-leader in late June.
Orientation Leaders are FSC upperclassmen students who serve as a resource and support in connecting new students to the community. O-leaders share helpful reminders, and tips, and are available for questions. They lead the small group activities throughout the orientation period.

Shipping Your Items
To reduce the number of items you’ll need to pack and make move-in as easy as possible, we encourage you to ship your items. Your items will be stored in a climate-controlled warehouse and should be sent to:
