(Bluefield)—A record number of students and family members attended the first of this summer’s two new & transfer student orientation programs at Bluefield State College. The event is designed to help students complete the enrollment process, work with advisors to complete their fall semester class schedules, and gain greater comfort and familiarity with the campus. Additional programming was presented for students’ family members. Approximately 170 students and more than 200 family members participated in the first orientation session.
“We are extremely encouraged by the feedback received from this session,” noted John Cardwell, BSC Vice President for Student Affairs. “By taking part in orientation, students have significantly increased the likelihood that they will succeed in college and achieve their academic and career goals.”
Students met with academic advisors, as well as representatives from Student Support Services, financial aid, student affairs, and health services. They also received training in college services, including “Smart Thinking,” career planning and placement, “Degree Works,” “Web Self-Service,” and online class opportunities.
A second orientation session will be presented on July 31. “All students who are considering enrolling at Bluefield State College for the fall semester are encouraged to contact us so that we can assist them throughout the registration and enrollment process,” Cardwell said. “Bluefield State is the most affordable public baccalaureate college or university in West Virginia, our graduates enjoy successful careers, and our recently established border-county tuition provides many out-of-state students with substantial tuition savings.” Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the BSC Admissions Office by phone (304-327-4065) or e-mail (bscadmit@bluefieldstate.edu).
