You will have the opportunity to meet many of the students, faculty and staff who make up the Belhaven family, but you will also learn your way around campus and begin to feel at home at Belhaven. The staff in the Office of Student Leadership is responsible for the planning and implementation of Welcome Week. Feel free to contact our office if you have questions.
