Student Transitions and Family Programs
Life as a Flyer Begins Here
Starting life at the University of Dayton is exciting and overwhelming, both for incoming students and for their families. That's why we developed a series of programs to help our newest Flyers make the most of their college experience and facilitate a successful transition into the academic, social, and spiritual life of the UD community.
