Who can participate in First STEP?
First STEP is intended for incoming first-year Wharton students. STEP aims to create a community away from home. This is open to any first-year student who thinks they might benefit from extra support in the transition to college and the smaller four-year community provided by STEP.
Are there any cost to participate?
There is no charge to participate. Housing and all meals and activities during STEP pre-orientation are included. However, you will be responsible for getting yourself to campus before the start of the program.
Do I have to participate in all STEP pre-orientation programming?
Full attendance and participation is mandatory.
Will I have free time that I can spend with my family or friends?
STEP pre-orientation is exclusively for you, and there will not be a lot of free time during the program.
