Black & Gold Day is your official welcome to the university.

This summer orientation experience helps you arrive in the fall prepared, confident, and ready to succeed. During Black & Gold Day, you’ll receive a schedule of classes, learn what to expect academically, complete key next steps, and connect with advisors and fellow students.

You don’t need to have everything figured out yet—Black & Gold Day focuses on what you need now, while Welcome Week in the fall continues your transition through community-building and campus life experiences.

By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear academic plan, important tasks completed, and at least one connection to support you as you begin your college journey.
