Members of Class of 2026 Begin Orientation
Two-day summer orientation sessions for the more than 1,000 members of The University of Scranton’s class of 2026, and their parents and guardians, began on campus June 21. The University will also display a tribute to the class of 2026 on its four-story, Class of 2020 Gateway lighted sign on the evenings of orientation.University of Scranton President, Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J., quoted from St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, in his welcome to the students and their families of the class of 2026.
“‘Strive after the goal to which you are called with all your might. Know that God has already supplied you with the means to achieve it. And, remember that love must always manifest itself in deeds rather than words.’ Those words are nearly five centuries old, and yet they are still relevant today as they were when St. Ignatius wrote them,” said Fr. Marina at the start of the orientation sessions for the 1,000-plus members of Scranton’s class of 2026. The University will conduct four two-day sessions for the members of its incoming class and their parents and guardians on June 21-22, 23-24, 27-28 and June 30-July 1.
Scranton’s summer orientation is designed to introduce new students and their families to the University’s procedures, facilities and support services, and to provide them with the opportunity to meet with faculty, administrators and staff, as well as each other.
