Westcliff University’s New Student Orientation Sets the Stage for Success
Westcliff University recently welcomed more than 260 new students to its main campus in Irvine, California, for New Student Orientation. This diverse group included undergraduates beginning their academic journey, as well as new master’s and doctoral students. The event highlighted Westcliff’s rich cultural tapestry, with students hailing from around the globe.
Among the new students was Steve, an MBA candidate originally from Shanghai, China. He expressed his excitement about starting his journey at Westcliff and settling into his new home in Southern California. “This is the kind of place we would only visit on vacation, so to now live here is pretty surreal. The sun is always shining, and the people are nice,” Steve shared. His motivation for joining the MBA program stems from his entrepreneurial ambitions. As the owner of an online fitness coaching business, Steve acknowledged, “After starting my own business, I realized I don’t know anything about business. My goal is to learn about business, especially the entrepreneurial and marketing side.” Check out the two newest MBA concentrations being added!
The orientation also saw enthusiastic participation from student-athletes, who are gearing up for the upcoming season. Be sure to show your support for the Warriors by checking out the schedule and catching the men’s and women’s soccer teams, men’s water polo, as well as women’s volleyball! Don’t forget to visit the newly revamped student store for the latest Westcliff gear to showcase your school spirit.
During the orientation, students attended various sessions filled with valuable information. A key highlight was the introduction of the newly launched, sleek, and user-friendly student portal, designed to be a convenient one-stop shop for all student needs.
Another focal point was Westcliff Student Life, which offers a wide range of clubs and activities. From trips to nearby cities like Los Angeles and San Diego to regularly held beach days, there are numerous ways for students to connect and engage. Staying informed about upcoming events is easy by following Westcliff University on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, as well as dedicated accounts for Westcliff Student Life and Westcliff Athletics.
