Close-Knit Community

Faculty and staff at Bridgewater College are part of a close-knit community. We care about one another and welcome everyone, no matter where you’re from. You can walk across campus in just a few minutes. It’s easy to get to know your colleagues and the students. You’ll have the opportunity to gather at departmental and office events, as well as campus-wide gatherings for employees.

All about Location

The nearby communities of the Shenandoah Valley, including the town of Bridgewater, the cities of Harrisonburg and Staunton, and the counties of Rockingham and Augusta, are great places to live and raise a family, with strong school systems and low crime rates.

Onboarding for New Employees

Starting a new role comes with a lot to learn, and our Onboarding for New Employees webpage is designed to make that process clear and manageable. It guides new hires from the moment they accept their offer through the end of their first year, helping them feel confident and connected within the Bridgewater College community. This resource supports a smooth transition by providing:

• A clear, step-by-step overview of the onboarding journey.
• Direct links to essential platforms and documents to enhance ease of use.
• A user-friendly layout that highlights important procedures and available campus resources.

With everything in one place, new employees can easily find what they need, understand expectations, and prepare for each stage of their first year.
