Welcome to Stephens College! Orientation Weekend is your official introduction to life as a Stephens Star – a three-day experience designed to help new students move in, find their community, and feel at home before classes begin.

The weekend kicks off on Thursday with move-in and campus exploration. You’ll also take part in signature Stephens traditions, including the Crossing the Bridge Ceremony and an evening of games and music.

Friday dives into academics, with time dedicated to connecting with your major, meeting faculty, and getting oriented to your program. Leadership and community-building activities continue, and the evening brings friendly competition and campus fun.

Saturday and Sunday will allow you to connect with the broader Stephens and Columbia community, and celebrate everything you’ve experienced over the past three days. Throughout the weekend, you’ll share meals, explore campus, and build friendships that will carry you through your Stephens journey.

More details, including a full schedule and location information, will be shared closer to the event.
