Welcome to Hesston College 2026-27

Students moving in with bags and suitcases.

We hope you take the opportunity to get to know people here and enjoy the activities. This is an important transition, and we’re here to help you through it. 

Parents, we hope you can take advantage of the special sessions planned for you. We pride ourselves on our hospitality and will be disappointed if we fail to serve you in any way. 

If you have questions, ask any staff or faculty member nearby or stop by the admissions office on the second floor of Alliman Administration Center. Thank you for being here. We hope this is an enjoyable Opening Weekend for you and your family.
