Dear Incoming Fletcher Students,
Welcome to the Fletcher Community! We are looking forward to welcoming you to Fletcher.
Orientation is designed to assist you with your transition to Fletcher. The information briefings, sessions, and workshops will provide you the information you need to take full advantage of your first semester on campus. During Orientation, you will also meet members of the community, including administrators and faculty, who will be valuable resources throughout your time at Fletcher. More importantly, you will have ample opportunity to connect with incoming and continuing students. We hope that you take the time to get to know your classmates, as many of these friendships will last far beyond your time as a student.
More information about arriving on campus can be found on this page. Please use this site as a resource for important information to prepare you for matriculation at Fletcher.
Sincerely,
Katie Mulroy
Director of Student Affairs
