About New Student Orientation
The Graduate Student Center is here to make sure you experience a seamless transition to Penn. The Grad Center will also be your home base at Penn long after orientation is over. So become part of the community right away!
Penn offers several orientation programs for incoming graduate and professional students. Take advantage of
- your school-specific orientation for academic information;
- the Grad Center's activities to orient you to Penn and Philadelphia;
- ISSS orientation activities for international students.
We know you'll be busy, so we've organized our events à la carte. Pick and choose what's most convenient for you!
