Why should I come to orientation?

How can I meet people on campus?
Rowan University is a big campus! But that makes it easier to find the people who will become your closest friends. During the beginning of orientation, you will be able to wander through a showcase of Student Organizations, and join any that you find appealing. Becoming involved on campus is the best way to meet new people!
