FreshFest is the largest pre-orientation program at Syracuse University. Students that sign up for FreshFest move in to their residence halls early and participate in activities that help them get acclimated to campus. Participants are also assigned a returning student mentor. It's a great way to meet incoming students and returning students before the academic year begins. FreshFest is August 17-19, 2020. Move-in starts on August 17. Move-in windows will be determined and communicated to participants as Welcome approaches.
