Dragon Week
Dragon Week is Donnelly's official kickoff to the fall 2024 semester. Students will learn about Donnelly's history, meet students, faculty and staff and engage in on-campus activities. During the first two days of Dragon Week, August 12 and 13, crucial information sessions will be held to prepare new students for classes starting on Wednesday, August 14. The August 12 and 13 information days are both mandatory. Failure to attend both days or classes during Dragon Week will result in dropping students from fall classes.
