Held about a week before the Fall 2026 semester at HFC begins, our free Welcome Day events offer a glimpse into what your student experience will be like at HFC. You'll be able to meet the faculty in your academic program, explore the HFC campus with a scavenger hunt, and build your student support network.

All Welcome Day events will be held in the Forfa Auditorium (Room L-101) on the first floor of the Andrew A. Mazzara Administrative Services & Conference Center (ASCC) (Building L on the main campus).

HFC has four Schools that represent our academic programs:

  • The School of Liberal Arts (SOLA)
  • The School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
  • The School of Health and Human Services (HHS)
  • The School of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Professional Development (BEPD)

Each School will hold a Welcome Day information session.

Family members welcome, too

Parents and family members will also have a dedicated session to provide insights from our HFC counseling team on how they can support your academic journey. Family members should attend this event at the same time your Welcome Day information session takes place.
