Each year, Reed offers two Pre-Orientation Experiences designed for specific populations of students: the Peer Mentor Program and International Student Orientation.
During pre-Orientation programs, students join their classmates in small groups to participate in an experience that aims to help ease their transition to college life and enrich Orientation. In addition, these programs provide opportunities for both personal growth and leadership development.
The Peer Mentor Program is optional and requires pre-registration. International Student Orientation is required for all international students (F-1 and J-1 visa holders) and also requires pre-registration.
Students participating in these programs will be able to move into their residence halls prior to the start of each program.
Fall 2024 International Student Orientation and the Peer Mentor Program will take place from August 22-26, 2024.
Substance Free
In order to make these programs as safe and enjoyable as possible, drugs and alcohol are not permitted.
