ORIENTATION 2011
Welcome to the College of New Caledonia! I am sure that, like many other College students, you are excited and anxious to see the start of this academic year. You can expect the months ahead to be full of interesting and rewarding challenges. We've planned a variety of orientation events, both college-wide and program-specific, to help make your transition to the CNC community easy and fun!! I encourage you to take full advantage of all opportunities and to pursue your goals enthusiastically, so that your time with us will be stimulating, rewarding and enjoyable. Once again, welcome to the College, and thank you for choosing CNC. I wish you the very best as you begin your journey with us. Sincerely, John Bowman President |
