Marching Band, ROTC, Athletics (for fall-start students only):Ìý
If you are in the marching band or other special programs like ROTC or Athletics, you may have rehearsal/meetings/practice the week before classes start. All new first year students must attend their college welcome day (we call this Engineering Launch), in full, including the Meet Your Major session on the August 25th. The folks who run these programs are aware of this and will allow you to miss rehearsal. Note that each college does their own college welcome day, and it may or may not be on the same day as Engineering Launch. Therefore, your friends in a different college may be doing something on a different day than you.
