    Chaffey College Orientation Day Draws 1,500

    Rocky gives a student a high five

    Rose Ortiz plans to become a veterinarian one day, and to get there, she’s pursuing a biology degree at Chaffey College.

    The Chino High School graduate decided to kick off her college career by coming to the Rancho Cucamonga campus on Aug. 9 for Orientation Day.

    “It’s my first time in college so I’m looking for a good start,” Ortiz said.

    Orientation Day takes place every year in the fall and spring, giving students a chance to get acclimated to their campuses, meet with admissions or other staff, and learn about academic and career communities. About 1,500 students attended events virtually, as well as in Fontana, Chino and Rancho Cucamonga.

    New and returning students took campus tours, enjoyed free food and music, andA student poses with Rocky at Orientation Day took home some Chaffey swag.

    Ethan Del Cid came with his friends to the event to get questions answered about his classes.

    “I’m a little nervous because I know it’s going to be a little different than high school,” he said.

    Graphic design major Chloe Waite wants to earn credits to transfer to USC or another four-year university. She attended Orientation Day, feeling both anxious and excited.

    “I want to learn my daily schedule for the semester,” she said.

    Ortiz, who came to the event with her mother, Lissette Lomeli, said she chose Chaffey over a four-year university to save money and because it is close to where she lives.

    “I’m so proud of her,” Lomeli said.
