FYE Events!
Your first year of college should make you feel supported, equipped, and fulfilled to succeed in academics and in life. That's why KCC is committed to you as an individual and to your first-year experience! The First Year Experience at KCC plans and provides programming and events that engage and connect all students to each other, to staff and faculty, and to the campus.
Student Life and the First Year Experience work closely together to ensure all students, new and returning, have the resources, connections, and excitement needed to have a fulfilling first year. We involve various departments and services in our programming to further extend resources to students and to acquaint you with the KCC family. With weekly events and activities, you're sure to have fun and meet tons of exciting individuals, like yourself!
Welcome Week!
You can count on a campus-wide party the first week of every term! Welcome Week is a five-day celebration of the beginning of the term, where each day something new is happening on different parts of campus. Make sure to swing by our events to start the term off right!
Registration Kick-Off
Just as we celebrate each new term, we also celebrate Summer and Fall Term registration. The Kick Off is an annual event held on the opening day of summer and fall enrollment. From morning to late afternoon, you're invited to play carnival games, enjoy some great food, explore and meet campus resources, and register for classes! We love doing giveaways, so students who register for both Fall & Summer terms are automatically added into raffles for some awesome prizes.
Fuels for Finals Week!
A week-long event to celebrate the end of the term, the second-to-last week of every term! Each day of the week, a new event is happening on different parts of campus. Be sure to visit to recharge and relax before finals!
