New Student Orientation
The mission of New Student Orientation is to introduce incoming Oles to St. Olaf and to provide the tools to navigate their academic and co-curricular experience while living in a vibrant residential community. In order to give you these tools, the New Student Orientation experience is filled with workshops, sessions, and social opportunities to connect with your fellow Oles and our campus.
Step One: Make sure you have Downloaded our App
We encourage incoming students and their guests to download the St. Olaf College Guide app so they can stay updated on all the events and activities of New Student Orientation.

2020 Common Read
The purpose of the Common Read is to introduce new students to topics of equity and inclusion that can be integrated in their social and academic life. The Common Read for Fall 2020 is Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation by Eboo Patel, a coming-of-age story about an Indian-born Muslim immigrant’s search for identity and development of an interfaith youth movement focused on building bridges across forms of difference that too-often divide.
