Sessions for students include information about academic life, the successful transition to college, Scranton’s inclusive community, campus life and mission and ministry, as well as smaller sessions for students to get to know each. A track of sessions is also set for parents that include information about academics, financial aid services, career development, mission and ministry, campus life and strategies for success.

Incoming students will also attend additional virtual events during the summer to allow them to get to know the University and their classmates better.
