Threshold Student Orientation

Orientation helps make your transition to Lesley University easy and fun.

Threshold Orientation

It's almost time for your first year to begin and we can't wait to welcome you to Threshold. We've been busy preparing for your first day, and orientation is the first step you'll take to becoming a Lesley Lynx. As a Threshold student, you'll participate in welcome activities on day one and then two days of in-person and live Zoom sessions on Thursday, June 23 and Friday, June 24. And since you're not the only one who's making a transition, your family will also have live Zoom sessions on the second day of orientation, so they can learn what it's like to support someone at Lesley.

Here's what you need to do to get ready:

  1. Register to save your spot and a spot for your family. 
  2. Make sure you review our list of compiled resources and watch our welcome to Lesley videos on our main orientation page.
