Summer Series for First-Year Students
Outside of your mandatory Pre-Orientation and Orientation activities, Orientation Leaders are hosting optional community events as a part of a new initiative, Summer Series for First-Year Students.

In honor of our global community, join us to watch the world's most popular sport...soccer!
Part-watch party, part-AMA, we'll be watching a Champions League game together and muting the commentary. Orientation Leaders Mateo (BPE '22) and Ian (BS '22) will be giving our own play-by-play on being a student at Stern and taking your burning questions.
Soccer aficionados and novices alike are welcome!
