New Students Orientation

If you missed Orientation earlier in the year or are a part-time student who would like to learn more about Regent, we invite you to join us for the upcoming Winter Orientation 2013. You will be given lots of information, hear talks on the history, mission, and vision of Regent College, and get to know fellow students.
If you are interested in joining us, please email Claudia (international@regent-college.edu).
Please note there will be no household giveaway at the Winter retreat.
