About this Event
Ahead of the Herd is your first real taste of campus life, before classes even begin. Where you and your family get to see what it really means to be part of our community.
Join us for a day of fun, mentor-led activities where you’ll meet new friends, explore campus, connect with your faculty, and discover the supports available to you — all while easing those new-school nerves.
Don’t let all the fun distract you. Your family will also get their burning questions answered, from housing options to supporting your transition to university.
You’ll be on the move across campus, so wear comfortable clothing and footwear.
When you arrive on campus in the fall, you won’t be a stranger. You’ll already belong.
📅 Date: June 6, 2026
