2025 Fall New Student Orientation Recap

---

As a new student at ɬÀï·¬, the first major event you will likely experience is our New Student Orientation.

Hosted by the Student Life department, New Student Orientation is designed to introduce students to our campus, our services, and how to succeed as a student at ɬÀï·¬. This event also is a great opportunity to meet other students new to ɬÀï·¬!

At ɬÀï·¬, our New Student Orientation begins with check-ins, then the new students watch presentations from our student support departments such as the Writing and Learning Centre (WLC) and Academic Advising in order to familiarize themselves with our services.

Following that, the students are taken on a tour around campus before returning to the main room for lunch and activities.

This year, we refreshed our theme and invited our students to embark on a new journey. Below is a statement from the Student Life team:

“We had a fun fair before because we thought it would be a nice way of them to get to know each other and then we changed it to an adventure because moving to Canada, it’s an adventure starting new, a new school, a new place, a new city, a new bus, new phone, new everything.

“This is a new beginning, this is a new path, this is a new adventure, so that’s why we changed it to ‘your adventure starts here’ and we wanted to connect it to what ɬÀï·¬ is: a pathway to university.”
