JOIN THE COMMUNITY

Our Master’s in Higher Education Leadership (MHEL) students may come to campus early to start their internship or graduate assistantship, but we find it is helpful to become familiar with the campus in an academic context—who are your professors, what does coursework look like, what are the academic resources available?

For the 2024-2025 cohort, Orientation information will be posted summer 2024.
