Stockfarm August 25, 2017– Dominica State College (DSC) Orientation week 2017 is carded for Monday August 28, 2017, to Friday, September 2, 2017, at its lower campus in Stockfarm.
Orientation is a week-long series of programs to welcome new students and ease their transition from secondary school into the Dominica State College. It includes opportunities to meet key administrators, faculty, and staff members as well as to attend workshops, presentations, and sporting and social activities that will help the new students acclimate to life at DSC.
