New Student Days
New Student Days Program
New Student Days is the Orientation Program at Wittenberg,
which is scheduled for the first three days before Fall Semester classes begin.
This program is three days long consisting of events for students and parents.
Orientation Assistants (OA) are the student volunteers that are assigned to the
incoming new students. The schedule of events include meetings with OAs,
meetings with academic advisors, an opening ceremony with a speech by the
President of the University, the Dean of Students, and the President of Student
Senate, team building activities, and much more.

Days as a volunteer for three years.
