Fall Orientation

In the weeks leading up to the start of undergraduate classes, new students will be introduced to the resources, expectations, and traditions of Babson College through a virtual Orientation course, and other topic-specific courses. The full virtual orientation experience consists of these four programs:

1. Student Life at Babson (Canvas Course): an introduction to the various resources and opportunities available to undergraduate business students across campus, including academic advising, community standards and policy, health and wellness, public safety, multicultural and identity programs, and welcome messages from campus administrators.
   1. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Learning Platform (Paradigm Platform): an online experience to launch your DEIB learning journey here at Babson that will empower you to cultivate a culture where you lean into difference. The platform and ongoing learning opportunities will give you some knowledge and an appreciation of your peers, staff, and faculty, who represent a myriad of lived experiences, better preparing you to enter the workforce with a core career competency.
2. Gender-Based Misconduct (Canvas Course): a program addressing Babson policy and process regarding sexual and relationship violence under the Gender-Based Misconduct Policy and the Title IX Policy.
3. Watch Your BAC Part 1 (Canvas Course): a program addressing culture and policy around alcohol and other drugs at Babson.

Once on campus, the fun begins when new students meet their Peer Mentor, an upperclassman student leader, and the rest of their Orientation group. Orientation weekend will provide new students with the opportunity to engage and socialize with each other while further engaging with campus staff, faculty, and resources.
