Transfer, Exchange and Graduate Student Orientation 2008 Schedule
The special Transfer Passages and Perspectives orientation program is designed to introduce transfer students to their new community, Puget Sound's traditions and expectations. Passages is the outdoor orientation program and includes all of the some opportunities as the freshman students receive. Our graduate students are welcome to attend these events as well.
