Why is orientation important?

 All new incoming freshman and transfer students for the Fall 2023 are encouraged to participate in New Student Orientation. New Student Orientation is designed to provide incoming students with programming and resources that aim to welcome students to campus and help facilitate this new transition to college life. The shared experiences create an atmosphere to answer questions, provide meaningful connections, promote awareness of campus life and understand the expectations of a new student. As a new member of our KCC community, New Student Orientation sets the tone for the beginning of your journey with us. ​​
