Redhawk Launch

Redhawk Launch takes place on the following dates in July:

• Monday, July 1 – Tuesday, July 2
• Monday, July 15 – Tuesday, July 16
• Thursday, July 18 – Friday, July 19

For all sessions, Check-In on Day 1 starts at 1:00pm and the Closing Session on Day 2 ends at 2:00pm (followed by an optional Campus Resource Fair). Please do not finalize travel plans to attend a Redhawk Launch session before you receive confirmation of your RSVP, as space for each session is limited.

We recognize not all students and families can travel to campus in July. A one-day Redhawk Launch will be held on Friday, September 20. Sign-up priorities for this session are given to international students, students and families traveling from Hawai’i, and our far-flying Redhawks from out-of-state.

• Guests: After students sign up to attend Redhawk Launch, they can add up to 2 guests to their RSVP.

There are no additional fees to change which Session you plan to attend. If you have already signed up for Redhawk Launch and would like to change which Session you plan to attend, please follow these steps:
