Undergraduate Orientation
FALL 2020
Even though we wish we could see you in person, we’ve prepared an interactive online experience that will bring the spirit of LIM directly to you.
Students entering in Fall 2020 will enjoy a series of Orientation activities online throughout the summer — including group talks and meetups with Student Mentors, and info. sessions about our academic majors, global programs, and fashion careers.
Below is a look at everything that’s happening for you this summer!
Discover Your Career Brand: Live Series
Tuesday's at 7 p.m. (EST) starting July 7, 2020
Imagine your dream career…. What are you doing? What are you saying? What difference are you making?
This summer, LIM’s Career Coaches will help you take the first steps to turn your career dreams into college reality.
In the 6-week mini-course Discover Your Career Brand, you’ll explore your true passions and purpose, start setting goals, and begin mapping out which campus activities, courses, and internships can help you achieve your dream career.
You’ll also learn how to create a starter resume and establish your online presence—setting up the technology and platforms (like your e-portfolio and LinkedIn) to showcase yourself to potential employers and find your first internship.
Your “career brand” is much more than a resume. It’s how your resume comes to life. So, set yourself up for success—and get a head-start on the college-to-career journey that defines what it means to be an LIM student!

We’re having a special guest at our first big event.... Celebrity Fashion Stylist Dennis Kenney!

He's also the founder of NONDK, a streetwear line that promotes unity and diversity.

- Talk to your new classmates -- and get to know more of them
- Ask current students for advice on what to bring, where to eat, how to get around NYC...whatever's on your mind.

Virtual Roommate Mixer
Tuesday, June 23 at 8 p.m. (EST)
If you're planning to live in our residence hall, one thing is for sure: You want a roommate who shares your interests -- and respects your need for sleep and a (reasonably) clean bathroom. So, to help you find the right match, we're holding Virtual Roommate Mixers. We'll break into small groups to talk about everything from what music and Netflix shows you like, to your cleaning schedule and study habits.
