O-Team welcomes new students at Bird Remsen Hillside Theater

Transferring between colleges and universities is often a significant change for students and family members, one we are excited and prepared to help you navigate.

New Student Orientation exists to create a dynamic, celebratory, and welcoming environment for all incoming students. This is a space to explore academic options, build community, and become familiar with the College's surroundings. Orientation also fosters an appreciation of Occidental's commitment to equity, excellence, and service, through training, team-building activities, and more. For additional information, email Sabrina Willison at swillison@oxy.edu.
