As fall approaches, Southwestern Oregon Community College is preparing for its annual New Student Orientation. Traditionally, this has been a time for incoming students to become acquainted with college life at SWOCC, as well as the surrounding community of Oregon’s Southern Coast. In the past, we have averaged more than 250 new students attending the orientation activities, and the turnout is expected to be at least that and likely many more this year. Many of the new students who arrive on campus are from other hometowns and are not familiar with what our community has to offer. We are hosting a free Welcome Expo from 11:30am to 1:30pm on Saturday, September 27th and businesses are invited to attend. Table space and a banner with your organization’s name will be provided to the first 35 who register. There is no registration fee to attend. You are encouraged to bring handouts, gifts, coupons, games and other entertaining ideas to this fun, interactive event. The Associated Student Government of SWOCC will host a free barbecue and anyone from your organization in attendance is invited to participate. We will have the burgers and hot dogs ready for you and your staff at noon! Contact Trish McMichael at 541-888-7349 or trish.mcmichael@socc.edu no later than September 19th to reserve table space. Please consider helping us welcome our new students to the Southwestern campus and community. We look forward to seeing you on September 27th!
