JACKSON, Miss. (May 11, 2026) - Belhaven University will welcome its incoming freshman class during New Student Orientation, set for June 11-12. The two-day event is designed to equip new students with the tools and resources they need for a successful first year.

Throughout orientation, freshmen will have the opportunity to meet classmates, connect with key faculty and staff, register for fall classes, purchase textbooks, obtain student ID cards, and finalize their enrollment plans for August.

“Starting college is an exciting milestone, and we want our students to feel supported every step of the way,” said Bailey Ketteringham. “New Student Orientation gives incoming freshmen the opportunity to build connections, gain confidence, and make sure they are fully prepared for a successful transition to life at Belhaven.”

Belhaven encourages all admitted freshmen and their parents to attend. A variety of informative programs will also be offered specifically for parents.

To participate, students should register online and include their intended major to ensure they are paired with an academic advisor aligned with their chosen degree path.
