On behalf of the New Student Orientation committee, I want to let you know that the committee and 2012 FOCUS Team are busy planning for the Spring Semester New Student Orientation coming in January!
New Student Orientation is filled with fun and informational activities designed to assist your transition to college and CBU. Due to the importance of the information covered, all orientation sessions are mandatory for new students. Attendance at the social events is not required, but strongly encouraged. Highlights include new student information sessions, a trip to Knott’s Berry Farm, Anaheim Ducks Hockey and much, much more! It is our goal that Orientation will help connect you to our campus, fellow classmates, CBU college life and Christ.
Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to begin your college experience right! It all begins on Friday, January 6th with the Orientation Kick-off and Opening Session at 1 pm in the Wallace Theater and concluding the day with the Welcome Dinner and Closing Session at 5 pm in the Alumni Dining Commons. Orientation Schedules, Student Handbooks, free T-shirts and other important information will be available at Orientation “Check-in” in the Wallace Theatre between 8:30 – 11:30 am. There will be programming for parents, spouses and/or guardians the first day of Orientation (January 6th). Due to space limitations, parent orientation programs will only be available to parents, spouses, or guardians. We will have important sessions and events planned for new students all the way up until the first day of school (January 10th)!
Move-in for those living on campus will also be on Friday, January 6th from 8:30 - 11:30 am. For students that have applied for housing, more specific information will be coming to you soon. If you wish to apply to live on campus or have specific questions about housing, you can email residencelife@calbaptist.edu or call the Residence Life Office at 951.552.8000.
We are excited to have you join us at CBU! The University offices will be closed for the holidays, December 21st through January 2nd, but we will be checking our office email a few times during the break. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at campuslife@calbaptist.edu or call the Campus Life Office at 951.343.4300 after January 2nd.
Have a "Merry Christmas" and we'll see ya NEXT YEAR!
