You will have the opportunity to connect with faculty and staff while also getting to enjoy events such as laser tag and an ice cream social with other new students. Since you have the option of spending the night on campus, be sure to bring bedding for a twin bed or sleeping bag, pillow, a towel, and toiletries.

What is Incipio?

The schedule is full of information and fun including lunch at the SMU President's house, a day of service, Coffee House music night, and much more!

Who should attend?
Every new student participates in the orientation programs. Family members and supporters of students are welcome and encouraged to attend events planned specifically to help connect them to the SMU community.
