January Orientation

New Student Orientation is the first step in supporting your journey of faith, learning, and living at Gordon College. You will learn more about the College's resources and the people who are here to guide and encourage your successful educational adventure. Gordon is blessed with a dedicated community of faculty, staff and fellow students that share our journeys together.

On-Campus Orientation will begin with check-in and residence hall move-in for campus resident students on Sunday, January 12th from 2:00–5:30 p.m. Families are welcome to stay after check-in but it is not required. A family welcome and information session introduces common connections for a student's journey at Gordon from 5:15-6:00 p.m., and a welcome dinner for students and families at 6:00 p.m. Commuting students and families can join for dinner, or commuting students can begin early Monday morning (see schedule below.)
