Join current student leaders on campus for fun social activities to meet other new students and participate in GH Orientation traditions like ringing the GH Bell as you enter campus as first-time UofGH students and signing your class banner. You’ll even get to meet Swoop the Great Horned Owl, the official UofGH mascot.

Capture your first time on campus with our professional photobooth, play a round of mini putt, get to know your way around campus with our Swoop Scavenger Hunt using the Campus Compass App (download from the Google Play store or Apple App Store) or join a campus tour.

Outside the UofGH building, we’ll have space for you to relax, grab a snack and play some games.
