POINTERS WEEK 2025 SCHEDULE LOADING
The Pointers Week 2025 schedule is in the works! Keep checking back for additional dates, events and details.
Pointers Week is your chance to make connections with fellow Pointers and gain tools needed for a purposeful college experience! Activities include:
- Meeting with your academic home – Get acclimated with faculty, staff, and student leaders within your college to make connections and set yourself up for success.
