Summer Orientation 2020
Summer Orientation Summer Sessions
The transition to college is excited, but can also leave many students and families overwhelmed. At Geneva, we want to do everything we can to help you make a smooth transition. Throughout the summer, we'll be offering opportunities for new students and families to engage important topics that lead to a smooth transition. You should receive an e-mail on June 19th and a postcard the following week with all important details. You will need to register for each event to be a part of them. We hope to see you throughout the summer!
Financial Aid & Billing Webinar- June 24th, 6:30pm-7:30pm
The financial side to college can feel daunting for new students and families. Join our Director of Student Financial Services as she walks you through our Financial Aid and Billing processes.
Student Athlete Sports Medicine Meeting- June 24th, 8:00pm-9:00pm
This meeting is mandatory for all incoming student-athletes.
Student Connections- June 26th & 29th, various times
One of the most important transitions to college is meeting other incoming students. Since we are only doing virtual orientation this year, that can be even more difficult. We wanted to give you another time in the summer to connect with other incoming students. Pick the day and time that works for you and we will place you in a small group. Groups will be offered on Friday at 2:30pm, 7:00pm, and Monday at 2:30pm.
Thriving in Your Transition to College- July 13th, 7:00pm-9:00pm
Transition is a skill. Just like every skill we need to practice and prepare for that transition. Beginning college is no different. This year, beginning college will even be more unique due to the pandemic. This session will help students understand what the first year of college will look like and how to prepare. You will hear from various staff members who oversee orientation, residence life, and commuter life. The Dean of Student Development will also conduct a training on the skill of transition. Don't miss it!
Preparing for a Faithful and Fruitful Calling- July 27th, 7:00pm-9:00pm
At Geneva, our mission states that we "equip students for faithful and fruitful service to God and neighbor." We know that college is a stage of preparation, but also one of rigor. This session will focus on the support we provide our students to successfully meet the challenge of academic rigor while also preparing for their future calling and career.
Summer Orientation Day- June 19, 2020 (9:30 a.m - Noon)
Summer Orientation is designed for new students who are accepted and planning to attend Geneva College. Parents are also encouraged to participate in their important role of helping students transition to college. This event is intended to give admitted students deeper insight into student life, as they meet with academic advisors, meet faculty in their major and connect with future classmates. Parents will have the opportunity to attend sessions with faculty, participate in a Q&A session hosted by Student Development, learn more about the Student Financial Services Office procedures and connect with other parents. Though we wish we could meet together on campus, this virtual event still provides all of the important information needed as you prepare for your arrival in the fall.
