EKU Manchester Welcomes New Students for Orientation

Eastern Kentucky University Manchester Campus welcomed new students to campus for orientation on Wednesday, June 7.

“The beginning of college can be one of the most pivotal transitions in our lives and the key to a brighter future,” said Campus Director Terry Gray. “We’re thrilled to have some of Kentucky’s brightest at our EKU Manchester Campus.”

During orientation, the Future Colonels enjoyed guided tours of the 48,000-square-foot facility, participated in an informational session about the campus, and networked with University faculty, staff and current students.

The event concluded with each student receiving one-on-one advising information from Kristy Hampton, EKU Manchester academic services manager.

“Attending orientation is the first step in becoming a Colonel, and our new students left the event excited and prepared to start their journeys.”

The EKU Manchester Campus, part of the EKU East Region, provides a local, personalized educational experience to traditional and non-traditional students. Each semester, more than 100 classes are offered, including credits toward a variety of full degree programs. No matter where students are on their educational journey, faculty and staff at EKU Manchester are eager to assist.
