Hood College Dinking Ceremony

Orientation 2023

Orientation is an introduction to life at Hood College, as well as an introduction to college life where you will learn about the facilities and support services. Orientation and being a college student also marks a transition as you journey to adulthood. Our summer sessions (know as SOAR at Hood) are designed to introduce you to -- or remind you of -- things like community and inclusivity, helpful campus resources, and safety and mental wellness. Orientation is a great foundation for your Hood College experience and we can't wait to see you soon!

If you have any questions regarding Orientation, please email student engagement at studentengagement@hood.edu.
