New Student Orientation, Student Conference for Success Kick off Semester

There is still time to sign up for GateWay Community College’s New Student Orientation (NSO) or the Student Conference for Success. These events help new and returning students start the semester off strong.

 

Students and their families are encouraged to attend one of two New Student Orientations held this week. The first session is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m., Jan. 11, and the second session is from 10 a.m. to noon, Jan. 14. Both orientations will be located in the auditorium of the Center for Health Careers Education (CHCE) Building, Room 1106. If you can’t make either session, an online orientation also is available.

 

NSO highlights campus resources, services and programs in an effort to familiarize students with GateWay to help them be successful academically, personally and professionally.

 

Students can register for the New Student Orientation via their Online Student Center or by calling (602) 286-8600.

 

Also planned for returning and new students is the Student Conference for Success, set for Jan. 11. The bi-annual Student Conference for Success will help you gain the edge you need this semester. The all-day event features a variety of workshops that focus on everything from time management skills to financial aid tools in an effort to help new and returning students adjust to college. A special keynote address from a guest speaker will cap off the day’s festivities; lunch is provided. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the program starting at 8:30 a.m. Student ID number and photo ID required.
