The Center for Race, Equity, and Identity (CREI) transforms lives through community building, education, engagement, and the exploration of identities.

VISION
We envision a Goucher community that is mindful of our community principles and embodies our social justice mission, a community that recognizes people from various backgrounds interact and experience systems and structures differently and how that shapes the lived experience.

Mission
The best way to get to know your new campus community is to jump in and start exploring it yourself. Goucher orientation programs are here to help you start connecting to your new home and provide you with the information you need as you start your college adventure!

New student orientation is designed to introduce all aspects of one's first semester at Goucher College. This includes the classes (and their locations); the people; and the places you will live, study, eat, and play!

All first-time, first-year, transfer, and international students have the chance to interact and connect with faculty, staff, and students; obtain departmental information related to potential majors; take certain placement tests or audition; and learn about student life opportunities.

The Office of Student Engagement is dedicated to providing quality on- and off-campus activities, leadership development opportunities, new student programs, and late-night and weekend events that enhance the Goucher experience for students and their families.

We also offer specific support to first-year and transfer students and their parents, commuters, class officers, and the Goucher Student Government, and serve as a general resource to all student clubs and organizations.

Our programs aid in the transition to college, integrate in-class and out-of-class learning, and facilitate student development in all areas of their life. We believe that meaningful engagement in the total campus experience enhances both academic and personal success, and we want to make Goucher College a fun place to live and learn.
