New Student Orientation

Welcome to Brightpoint!

New Student Orientation is designed to introduce you to life at Brightpoint. You’ll learn how Brightpoint supports its students and facilitates your success, both in and out of the classroom. Find out about:

• Student life

New Student Orientation is mandatory for all newly enrolled first-time college students. Students are welcome to bring parents or other guests for support. However, students and guests will be separated for much of the event.
