Orientation Programs Set for MC Students

Orientation programs this summer will attract hundreds of incoming freshmen, transfer students and parents to Mississippi College.

The first two sessions June 3-4 on the Clinton campus will be followed by evening visits to Trustmark Park in Pearl to see Mississippi Braves baseball games.

"We want to make it fun and functional for the new students," says Kyle Brantley, interim admissions director. The students will receive information to get them acclimated to MC and an opportunity to get to know one another, he said.

Seeing the Mississippi Braves in action will be an added treat after lunch at Anderson Hall and other events on campus. "We will have a sky terrace for the new students/families and the admissions staff and orientation leaders," Brantley says.

The sessions begin with transfer orientation from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Thursday June 3. Freshmen orientation will run from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. on June 4.

Among other key dates: there will be freshmen orientation June 18-19 from 6 p.m. that Friday until 1 p.m. Saturday. Transfer student orientation is scheduled on Thursday July 8 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Freshmen orientation July 9-10 runs from 6 p.m. that Friday until 1 p.m. Saturday. More sessions will occur in August before fall classes begin.
