Postbac Program Welcomes 175 Students

While many students were enjoying their last week of vacation from classes, the Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program welcomed more than 175 students at the New Student Orientation, which began August 25.
Held in Lerner Hall, Postbac students were officially welcomed by GS Dean Peter Awn and Director of the Postbac Program Andrew Sunshine and attended group advising sessions with Postbac advisors.

This year's Postbac Orientation was integrated in to the campus-wide New Student Orientation Program, allowing students not only to participate in Postbac-sponsored orientation sessions, but also attend sessions co-sponsored by Columbia's three other undergraduate colleges. Evening events like the after-hours gathering at the Metropolitan Museum of Art allowed GS students to get acquainted with other Columbia undergraduates with whom they will be sharing the classroom.
