Congratulations and Welcome to Parsons School of Design!
Participation in New Student Orientation is important to your successful entry into Parsons and The New School. These sessions provide you with the opportunity to learn about your program and the Parsons experience, ranging from our amazing faculty, students, and staff. You’ll walk away with a wealth of knowledge that will help you succeed during your time at Parsons. Parsons orientation events are organized by the five schools within Parsons and the First-Year Program. University-wide orientation events are also happening throughout the week.
Students are required to attend the Parsons welcome event, their school’s academic program meeting, and other designated events.
Important notes:
1). Please check your acceptance letter to confirm the program into which you have been accepted. Students in the graduate programs in School of Fashion will be receiving Orientation details from your Program Director.
2). All of you should have received a custom schedule for your required sessions from Parsonsevents@newschool.edu. If you have not, please feel free to reach out there and we will send as soon as possible!
