Incoming students can get a kickstart on college life this summer, through NC’s pre-orientation program.
This July and August, KickSTART is once again happening at the Welland Campus and the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake for September-start students.
Hosted by NC Athletics and Student Engagement, the program offers students a sneak peek at college life to help ease their transition and gives students the chance to explore NC’s campuses, and meet fellow classmates and college staff.
In small group settings, students have the opportunity to gain information about their academic program, an overview of student services, and details about supports and involvement options available for them. They can also hear from current students, who are part of the 2023 KickSTART team.
“Something new this year is we have hired a group of students to help with KickSTART,” Nimisha Sumathi, Student Engagement and Leadership Program Coordinator. “This will add a student perspective and student voice, which we are excited about!”
KickSTART runs from July 31 through August 17 and registration for the ticketed event is open. For details, including the schedule and program-specific dates, as well as registration fees for students and their guests, visit niagaracollege.ca/kickstart.
NC employees are encouraged to provide a warm welcome to incoming students attending KickSTART sessions this summer.
