Christopher Newport University presents our Setting Sail/Welcome Week orientation programs!

Setting Sail 2008
Setting Sail (required for all first year students) is a two-day, overnight program that exposes students to life at CNU – both inside and outside the classroom. While on campus in June, students will be able to stay overnight in a residence hall, register for classes, pick up their student ID, meet other CNU students and much, much more! Each student must attend one of the four sessions and parents and guests are highly encouraged to attend.
