Few things are more intimidating than starting your first year of college, being a freshman again and lowest on the totem pole.
To ease the transition, City College has an initiated an entire Week of Welcome aimed to make new college students feel better about attending a new school and create a positive first-year experience.
City college has planned for one event to take place everyday this week starting Monday Sept. 8 until Friday Sept. 12.
Everything offered during this week spans from a Meet the Administrators day, to a free ice cream social, a photo opportunity with the City College Panther and even a free movie showing with popcorn included.
With everything that City College has to offer, it would be well-worth the detour from a normal school day to take advantage of this once-a-year, informational and fun event held on campus at City College.
Here is the list of individual events that will be taking place all week:
