Starting college is a big step. At Goldey-Beacom, we make sure you don’t take it alone.
Our 2-day New Student Orientation is more than a tour—it’s your official welcome to the GBC community. You’ll meet future classmates, connect with professors and staff, and explore campus life with your Orientation Leaders by your side.
💙⚡ Yes, you’ll even stay overnight in our residence halls—whether or not you plan to live on campus this fall!
This isn’t just about learning where to go or what to do—it’s about discovering how you want to show up. College is what you make of it, and Orientation helps you take ownership of that journey from day one. Whether you’re focused on academic success, career prep, finding your people, or all of the above—this is your launch point.
Orientation kicks off Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. with check-in and a welcome session. Bring a parent or supporter along! Together, you’ll hear from staff, learn about academics, and explore how to thrive at GBC. Parents head home after dinner—we keep the fun going overnight for students.
This day is all about you. Bond with new friends, create a time capsule, and finish up key steps before the semester starts. Orientation wraps up Wednesday by 3:30 p.m.
You’ll be staying overnight—just like you would as a student. Don’t forget:
Please note: Guests cannot stay overnight, but we will share nearby hotel suggestions in your confirmation email.
Space is limited and orientation is your chance to get a head start on everything GBC has to offer. The path you take is up to you—Orientation is where it begins.
