YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE STARTS HERE!
We are excited to welcome undergraduate students during New Student Orientation in August! Orientation is an opportunity for new students to move into their campus residences, select their courses and meet with their academic advisors, and learn about what it means to be a Franklin student. Orientation is an important part of students' first experiences as members of the Franklin community, and our goal is to help them adjust to life at their home away from home. For more information, please contact Ebonie Rayford.
