With the start of the fall term around the corner, NC’s Athletics and Student Engagement team is ready to welcome new students on Orientation Day, September 5.
Held the day before classes start, Orientation Day is part of the College’s fulsome Orientation programming to help prepare incoming students for the transition to college life.
Most Program Information Sessions and Co-op Information Sessions take place on Sept. 5, either in-person or virtually, when students will get the chance to ask questions and meet faculty, staff and classmates before the term begins.
A Welcome Session for international post-secondary students is also being hosted from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at The Core (Welland Campus) and The Armoury (Daniel J. Patterson Campus). Students can mingle over a light breakfast and meet staff from NC’s International Division.
Assisting students in the hallways
Engagement leaders and volunteers will be available on Sept. 5 and through the week to support students.
At the Welland Campus, staff and volunteers will be located at the entrance by Simcoe/Secord and the International office, the main campus entrance and the Athletics entrance. At the Daniel J. Patterson Campus, students will be greeted by the Orientation team at the main campus entrance, the Marotta entrance and at the door beside Career Services.
Employees are also encouraged to help provide a ‘warm NC welcome’ to all students in the hallways and to assist new students who may need help finding their way around campus.
When possible, wear your NC branded clothing next week. Orientation t-shirts are also available for employees on request by emailing Marilia Fructuoso Machado Welter, Student Experience Coordinator.
More on NC’s Orientation activities and list of social events for students, including the return of NCSAC’s Carnival (Sept. 5 at the Welland Campus) is available on the Orientation website.
