Welcome to your new home!

It is designed to welcome you to campus and help you build an immediate sense of community, connection, and belonging. You’ll explore campus and downtown Albion, get settled into your new home, make friends, meet staff and faculty, learn about resources and programs available to you during your time at Albion, and, above all, have fun!
