1:00 PM to 4:30 PM, Residence Halls
APPol Corps Time is an extension of orientation, but instead of being focused solely on academics, APPol Corps Time is geared toward helping you make friends, learning your way around campus and learning more about the university before classes start.
New students are assigned APPol Corps leaders according to what residence hall floor they are living on. APPol Corps Time happens the day after you move in. Your APPol Corps leader will email you when and where to meet at your residence hall.
Your APPol Corps leaders will serve as your guide and resource to many of the events happening during Welcome to App. Events are happening daily, and many events offer FREE FOOD and PRIZES, so be sure to check out our calendar of events to make sure you don't miss anything. At the end of the session, enjoy an Ice Cream Social with your APPol Corps leaders!!!

Making new friends can be intimidating, filled with uncertainty, and the dread of awkward encounters. Through teamwork and shared accomplishments, friendships can blossom naturally, reinforced by the spirit of play. Join Wellness and Prevention Services for yard games on Durham Park, August 18th from 2-4 PM. Well have cornhole, slammo, giant jenga, frisbee, and other games available to use. Come alone or bring friends, though, we will be encouraging everyone to mix and mingle with each other and engage in activities to help your barriers crumble and form bonds of friendship effortlessly with the thrill of activities and the joy of shared amusement guiding your interactions.
