SOAR: The Overnight Experience
“Start Strong. Stay Confident. Belong from Day One.”
SOAR: The Overnight Experience is an immersive, two-day onboarding designed to ensure students arrive prepared, connected, and fully aligned with campus life. It moves students beyond orientation—guiding them through registration, financial readiness, housing confirmation, and community building before the first day of class.
