In preparation for fall classes that start August 19, Spoon River College will hold orientations for new students at both the Canton and Macomb campuses.
Orientation at the Macomb Campus will be held Tuesday, August 13, in the Learning Resource Center (2nd floor), and the Canton orientation will be held on Wednesday, August 14, in the Multi-Purpose Building. Both will begin at 9 a.m. with a welcome from President Oldfield, followed by break-out sessions, a tour of the facilities, and a free pizza lunch at 12:30.
“This is an excellent way for new students to learn the lay-out of the college, where classrooms and faculty offices are located, and to receive overviews of financial aid options, student clubs, the support services available to them, and more,” said Jo Branson, assistant dean of student services.
All students will receive a free t-shirt, and a variety of door prizes will be available to win. All students will also be entered into a drawing for the chance to win a $100 Visa gift card.
“We encourage students to attend. It’s a fun way to meet other students while also getting important information, and can help alleviate any nervousness before the first day of classes,” Branson said.
Students may attend orientations at either campus, regardless of where they are enrolled. RSVPs can be made online under the Admissions tab on the college’s website (https://www.src.edu/admissions/rsvp) or by calling 309-649-6400 for Canton or 309-833-6069 for Macomb.
The Canton Campus is located at 23235 N County 22, and the Macomb Campus is located at 2085 S Johnson Street.
