The ORIGINS Experience
The ORIGINS Experience is a year-long inclusion program that begins a few days prior to First-Year Orientation. The ORIGINS Experience focuses on community building and leadership development. Like all of our Center programs, all students are welcome to join the ORIGINS Experience.
Throughout the year, this program Immerses First-Year students in a community-centered environment, Exposes students to resources and opportunities for networking and development at CMU, and Activates students by fostering a sense of belonging as an active member of the CMU community. Through the duration of the program, students will have the opportunity to connect with various community members including returning students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
The ORIGINS Experience will be held fully in-person. ORIGINS activities and workshops for students will start prior to the Orientation experience. Space is limited and registration is required. Registration for the 2025 cohort will be coming soon. Please check back for updates. Engagement with the ORIGINS Experience will not exclude students from taking advantage of other campus programs or initiatives, but rather serve as additional student success support.
