Arching Ceremony 2019

Ramapo College Welcomes Largest-Ever Incoming Class

Welcome to Ramapo College

This fall semester kicks off with Arching, a tradition where new students pass through our landmark archway to symbolize the beginning of their journey at Ramapo. Students move in to their new #HomeSweetPo (Residence Halls) the first week of September and all new students participate in our activity-packed days of Welcome Week. This year’s summer reading book was Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine. First-Year students read the book over the summer, hear the author speak at Opening Convocation and discuss the topics and ideas in their First-Year Seminar course. New campus improvements are in the works with the current renovation of the Birch Tree Inn Dining Hall and Robert Scott A. Student Center, and a grant of $15 million from the State of New Jersey will enable the College to begin renovating and enhancing the George T. Potter Library. Students will participate in Ramapo traditions and learning opportunities this fall including Student Involvement Fair, Global Opportunities Fair, Oktoberfest, Founders Day, a new commuter mentorship program and more.

I realized I could... READ MORE >
