Welcome to Dragon Territory! We're glad you're here.
Dragon Days are designed to help new students feel at home at Moorhead. It’s your chance to explore campus, build connections, and start your college journey with confidence.
The activities throughout Dragon Days aren’t solo events—you’ll experience them with a group of about 30 new students, all led by one of our awesome First Year Mentors. For a detailed schedule of events visit DragonCentral.
