Discover Sac State
Welcome, New Hornets!
Sac State is a wonderful university with a diverse student body, amazing programs, and active campus life. Although we are not able to bring you to campus for an orientation experience, we have developed a way for you to Discover Sac State this summer.
During the months of June, July, and August, there will be numerous Zoom sessions, webinars, and Instagram Live sessions for you. We'll have sessions covering Academics & Careers, Paying for College, Campus Involvement, Interest Groups, Planning for the Fall, Health & Wellness, Student Panels… and so much more. We also invite your parents or supporters to attend the sessions.
The campus community is excited to meet you. We look forward to sharing with you what is amazing about YOUR new campus!
