We will be hosting Jefferson Live, five one-day sessions for new first year or transfer students, in person on campus Monday July 26th through Friday July 30th. The program is free! Lunch and afternoon snacks will be provided.

Jefferson Live allows you to explore the campus and community while engaging with fellow new students. Orientation Leaders will guide you through the day with ample time for getting all of your questions answered. In the afternoon you get to “choose your own adventure” with optional tours of Center City, East Falls, or continuing to explore campus more in depth.

We will also have our Parent/Family/Guest Program available. Each student may register and bring one guest (parent/family member/partner). Guests must be 18 or older to participate. Please note that students and guests will be in separate groups/programs for the day. You will meet back up with each other at the end of the day.

We know getting to explore Philadelphia is an important part of the orientation process. We will be offering two sessions of our Exploring Philly program. Five students and an Orientation Leader will participate in expanded tours and activities that will help you get familiar with the city. The sessions are intended to compliment Jefferson Live and to provide an extended visit to the campus and the city. Students who choose to attend the program will need to provide their own overnight lodging. The two sessions are Sunday July 25th (with Jefferson Live on Monday July 26th) or Saturday July 31st (with Jefferson Live on Friday July 30th).

For students and guests that want to spend more time in Philadelphia, we have partnered with the Hilton City Avenue for discounted rooms during that week. You can book your room directly with the Hilton here: https://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/P/PHLPHHF-TJUSO-20210625/index.jhtml

Your safety is most important to us. We will be practicing all recommended safety protocols including mask wearing, hand sanitizing, small groups, social distancing, "outside is best", and extensive cleaning between sessions.

Registration is first come first serve. The registration deadline is June 15, 2021.

Please contact Heather Weaver, Director of Student Engagement at heather.weaver@jefferson.edu with any questions or concerns.

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
