In preparation for fall classes that start August 25, Spoon River College will hold orientations for new students at both the Canton and Macomb campuses.
Orientation at the new Macomb Campus will be held Tuesday, August 19, and at the Canton Campus on Wednesday, August 20, both from 9 a.m. to noon. They will begin with a welcome from President Oldfield, followed by break-out sessions and tours of the campus.
“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. RSVP online here 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 2500 East Jackson.
