Prelude

Student experiencing academic life at Puget Sound through the Prelude portion of the orientation program.At Puget Sound, we consider a liberal arts education to be an adventure, and Prelude is your introduction to that adventure. In this segment, you'll experience active learning as you become engaged in a discussion of ideas with faculty and other students. Close reading and writing will help you formulate and organize your ideas, and collaboration and varied approaches to learning will introduce you to new ways of thinking. Prelude will build your confidence, clear your mind, and prepare you for the work ahead.

 
About 25% of first-year students live in theme housing, such as Adventure Education or Social Justice.
