Bulldog Beginnings
Bulldog Beginnings is your beginning at Wingate! This mandatory program is designed to help you acclimate to campus life and adjust to being a college student. Bulldog Beginnings starts on move-in day and lasts until the first day of class. You’ll meet your orientation group, be led through the week by a Bulldog Guide, learn about campus resources, and connect with your peers! Bulldog Beginnings is required for all incoming students.
