Update Regarding Plagiarism Test
|
Dear students, due to technical difficulties, the plagiarism test will not be required. Instead, Dr. Whitmore will address the topics of plagiarism and AI in Orientation at the beginning of the semester. We apologize for the confusion!

Welcome, Class of 2029!
As you look forward to arriving to campus next month, I would encourage you to start thinking of the ways that you might like to get involved on campus. Right off the bat, you will see one of Christendom’s lead organizations in action. The Student Activities Council (SAC) will be organizing events such as the Friday Night Social, the Gym Night and the Barn Dance (see online Student Activities Calendar). SAC is a fantastic way to get involved, developing one's creative ideas and leadership abilities. SAC is made up of thirty-five volunteers, one of which will be the Freshmen Class President. Being a class president will give you the opportunity to serve your class and participate in several committees as well as coordinate and host the Country Contra Night during Parents and Family Weekend. Information about the election process will be provided during orientation. Another way to get involved is to join or start a club. There are currently around eighteen active clubs that range from the politics to pro-life groups. To see a full list, follow this link to the Student Clubs Page. One of the beautiful things about Christendom is the wide range of opportunities that there are for leadership and involvement. So, start thinking about getting involved and joining one of the many groups on campus! I look forward to welcoming you in a few weeks!
God bless,

We are so happy to welcome you to campus this fall! Move-In and Orientation are always an exciting time for the Student Life staff and we are eager to welcome you into our community, help you get settled in, and encourage you as you start this academic and personal journey. To that end, we need your help in making sure we are ready to welcome you to campus on Friday, August 22nd. One of the required steps in your Orientation Checklist is a survey that you can fill out with your family to help us anticipate when you will arrive and get a head count for Orientation dinner and the evening Parents Reception. Here are some quick tips for a great Move-In Day:
- Students are welcome to arrive anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Friday, August 22nd. Feel free to dress comfortably (no professional dress code required!).
-
Families are welcome to attend Move-In Day as well! You’ll receive a detailed schedule in the coming weeks, but Move-In Day includes presentations for parents, a family dinner in the Commons, and a reception where parents can meet the faculty, as well as plenty of welcome events for new students.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we will see you soon!
