Fall SEED Orientation Week will be held Tuesday, August 22 - Friday, August 25, 2023 with various activities scheduled each day. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday activities will be held in person. Wednesday activities will be held online via Zoom.

We are excited to be able to offer Fall SEED Orientation in person, incorporating virtual components via Canvas with a combination of synchronous live Zoom meetings on Wednesday and asynchronous recorded videos and materials. Where possible, meetings will be recorded and posted to Canvas for those that are unable to attend at scheduled times. However, we expect and strongly prefer that all incoming MSW students attend Fall SEED Orientation activities during scheduled times and locations.

The virtual portion of Fall SEED Orientation will provide a great opportunity for you to experience Canvas, which is the learning management system and online space for all SSW courses.

All incoming MSW students will be added to a 'Fall SEED Orientation' Canvas "course" before orientation week begins. Various activities are scheduled each day during Fall SEED Orientation Week, August 22 - August 25, 2023, including your first SW590 class session on Thursday, August 24th. Be sure to review the Canvas course for a complete schedule of days, times, meeting locations, and Zoom links to join activities.

International Student Orientation will be held on Monday, August 21, 2023 at the U-M School of Social Work. Incoming international students will receive additional information via email.
