New Student Week

New Student Week is our opportunity to welcome new students into the Portland State University community and kick-off each academic year prior to the fall term. This week is designed to help new students connect with the academic, cultural, and social opportunities at PSU by meeting other students, developing friendships, and getting involved. This week also provides an opportunity to satisfy any outstanding tasks prior to the start of classes. New Student Week 2009 was September 21-27; be sure to check this website for 2010 dates.
