Spring 2 New Student Orientation – Saturday, March 9, 2013

Webster students who will be attending class for the first time during the Spring 2 term, which begins March 16, should attend the New Student Orientation scheduled for 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 9, 2013, at the Sam Houston Community Center (formerly the Fort Sam Houston Club) on Fort Sam Houston. Current students who have already attended classes, but have not yet attended a New Student Orientation, should also make an effort to attend this session

During the Orientation new students are given an overview of the University and its programs; University policies are explained; and students are introduced to Webster unique programs such as Connections and Webster University’s online library. Webster’s Directors and academic advisors will be in attendance and will be able to meet with students to answer any questions they might have.

In an attempt to make this a fun event, students are encouraged to wear a t-shirt or hat or anything that represents one of their previous alma maters.

All Webster University students are required to attend a New Student Orientation. Please call any Webster office if you will not be able to attend.

Valley Hi Gate Visitor’s Reception Center (VRC) at Lackland AFB Closed

The Valley Hi Gate Visitor’s Reception Center (VRC) at Lackland AFB is closed until December 15, 2012. Students and faculty who need to obtain a nine-week pass for the Fall 2, 2012 term must go to the Luke Gate Visitor’s Reception Center to obtain that pass. The Luke Gate VRC is located off of Southwest Military Drive, and is the next gate after the Wilford Hall gate if you are traveling south on Military Drive from Highway 90. The Luke Gate is designated as “1” on the Lackland AFB map available on this website. If you are traveling south, you will make a left turn into the Luke Gate. Once you have obtained your pass, take Luke Blvd to Kenly Avenue, then turn right on Kenly. Proceed south on Kenly until you come to Truemper, then turn right on Truemper. Take Truemper to Carswell, then turn left on Carswell and proceed to Building 7065. In subsequent weeks, you can enter through the Valley Hi gate if you wish; however, Truemper from the Valley Hi gate to Carswell is down to one lane in both directions.”
