Welcome Students and Families!
Welcome to Warrior Welcome, Westmont College’s orientation experience designed to help new students and their families transition into life at Westmont with confidence and connection. This multi-day event offers an engaging introduction to our academic community, campus life, and Christ-centered mission. Students will build relationships with peers, meet faculty and staff, and explore the resources available to support their success. At the same time, parents and family members are invited to attend special sessions tailored to answer questions, offer guidance, and foster a deeper understanding of the Westmont journey. We look forward to walking alongside you as you begin this exciting new chapter.
