arts First-year student orientation events

Incoming first-year students are invited to find their Home in Arts at your Arts Meet & Greet Orientation featuring live music, food trucks, games and activities, building tours to explore where your classes might be, and a resource fair with representatives from our Arts departments, service providers, student associations, and more! Happening 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. on Friday, August 30th, inside and outside of the Humanities Centre.

If you're interested in gaining a ton of helpful information to set you up for success in your Arts degree program, you're also invited to attend one of our information sessions this same day. One happens in the morning before the main event from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m., and the other after the main event from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Both contain identical information and are happening in Tory Lecture Hall L-12 (top floor).
