During the in-person New Student Orientation, you will:
- Learn about the many resources and support services available to help you be successful.
- Connect with faculty, staff, current students, and new students just like you.
- Familiarize yourself with the Galveston College campus.
When you attend an in-person New Student Orientation, you will receive free food and a swag bag!
