New Student Orientation

Orientation at Montana Western is designed to welcome first-year and transfer students to campus while preparing them for the academic year. Over the four days, students will engage with peers, faculty, and staff through interactive sessions, icebreakers, and community-building activities before classes begin on Monday, August 17. These experiences help build friendships and lay the foundation for a supportive network that extends throughout students’ time at UMW.

This year’s orientation theme is “Bulldogs Unleashed: Lock In. Find Your Pack. Unleash Your Potential.” Through orientation, students will build a strong sense of community and school pride, learn how to access campus resources, become familiar with campus expectations, and gain an introduction to Montana Western’s Experience One learning model.
