Location: Varies. Now that you have had time to think about your course choices and seek advice on placement, you will have another meeting with your advisor. During this meeting, you will discuss your schedule in detail and make any necessary changes to it by adding or dropping courses. If you want to take any intermediate or advanced courses that were not included in the summer pre-registration, you can add them now. Keep in mind that some of the classes you choose may already be full, so discuss plenty of alternative options with your advisor and include them on your registration form. It's important to note that your advisor must sign your registration form at the end of your meeting to confirm that you have consulted with them. Do not leave your advisor's office before they sign your form! Without a completed and signed form, you won't be able to register for classes on Friday.

Location: Homerooms/Villard Room. Our expectations of sexual and non-sexual relationships are greatly shaped by many outside influences. With your orientation homeroom, you will question societal assumptions of what a relationship should be, examine various pressures to alter personal boundaries, and reflect on what makes you most comfortable in new and existing relationships. We will take the first step in cultivating pleasurable connections that both honor our various desires and embody compassion for each member of our community.

Core events
Location: Houses. The We Are Here series offers us an opportunity to build relationships with one another around the shared experience of starting our journey at Vassar together. We will get to know one another by listening and sharing about who we are. This session celebrates the present moment, honors where we’ve come from, and asks us about our paths ahead.
