Ignite Your Strengths: CliftonStrengths
During Orientation, you will engage in strengths-based development activities that support Villanova’s commitment to developing and nurturing the whole person in an environment that supports individual differences. Every incoming student will take the CliftonStrengths assessment, which we view as a tool for self-discovery. Before you arrive for Orientation, complete the steps outlined on our website to complete your CliftonStrengths assessment.

As you prepare for the Fall 2022 semester, remember to read our helpful website filled with a Glossary of Academic Terms to familiarize yourself with the academic offices and other phrases you may hear at Villanova.
