Undergraduate Orientation

Welcome new Hotelies! We are glad to have you as part of the Cornell Hotel School community, and we are here to help you make the transition to college life. During Orientation, you will meet our deans, faculty members, student leaders, and members of the Office of Student Services staff.

Each program throughout the upcoming days is designed to familiarize you with different aspects of college life, ranging from introductions to the faculty, strategies for managing your time, registration, course enrollment, unique programs at the Hotel School, academic and personal advising, career management, and employment opportunities in the Statler Hotel. 

We've also planned several opportunities, where you can relax and chat with faculty members, student leaders of the Hotel School’s clubs and organizations, and undergraduate advisors.

The university has provided a thorough website to help you organize all the tasks that need to be done prior to your arrival: http://newstudents.cornell.edu
