The student development staff has planned an exciting time of meetings and activities that enable new students to connect to their new community, begin work on the Learning and Transitions course, and focus on making a successful transition into college life.
First-year students receive class credit for many of the Welcome Week activities, so it is mandatory for all new students.
Below is the schedule for first-year students. We look forward to welcoming you to Geneva. (Transfer students, find your schedule here.)
