AHC Hosts "Hancock Hello" Orientation Events in Santa Maria and Lompoc
AUGUST 9, 2023-- Allan Hancock College hosted two of its popular “Hancock Hello” student orientation events at both its Santa Maria campus and Lompoc Valley Center in early August.
More than 1,500 new Hancock students and their parents attended these free, in-person orientations prior to the start of the fall semester.
The first Hancock Hello orientation was held on Aug. 1 at the Lompoc Valley Center. This was the second time the college held one of these events at the LVC. The second Hancock Hello was held on Aug. 8 at the college’s Santa Maria campus.
Hancock Hello events are designed to welcome students and introduce them to the college’s many resources. Both Hancock Hello events featured multiple informative workshop sessions in English and Spanish. Workshop topics included financial aid, tips for college success and how parents can support their college-going children.
Attendees were also able to take a guided tour of their respective campuses and visit information booths to learn more about student clubs, college academic programs and student services.
“Hancock Hello is a great opportunity for students and their parents to learn about all the tools and support available to help them succeed,” said Hancock Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers, Ph.D. “It’s also a chance for them to meet our faculty, staff, and their fellow Bulldog students.”
Registration for fall credit and noncredit classes at Hancock remains open. Fall classes begin Aug. 14. To register for fall classes, visit www.hancockcollege.edu/fall/.
