Preparing for Santa Clara
The Bronco Prep Guide is an online newsletter sent via email to all new students and parents with welcome messages, information, deadlines, and online resources to help prepare them for Orientation, Welcome Weekend, and the transition to college. The first edition of the guide is distributed in late spring and the final edition is distributed the week prior to Welcome Weekend.
