Outline for Winter 2024 Orientation:

November 20 - December 21: The Orientation team will be offering pre-arrival Orientation programming, such as “Meet Your O-Team" sessions.

This will provide students with an opportunity to meet staff from the Equity Hubs (Black Student Support and Engagement – BSSE, LGBTQ+ Resource Centre, and the Spirituality and Wellness Centre) and Student Life departments, to learn about their services and how they can become involved.

January 3: The International Graduate School (IGS) campus will be hosting their semesterly Welcome to IGS Sessions, in-person and on campus for incoming IGS students only.  

January 3 - 5: In partnership with academic faculties, SSE will host Academic Orientation with Meet Your Faculty sessions. These sessions will be a mix of virtual and in-person/on-campus. We will contact academic faculties to collect more information in the coming days.  

January 8 - 31: Orientation, with the support of our campus partners, will host Welcome Events for students. This programming will focus on well-being and social connection, and we will continue to promote services and resources available to students throughout their time at Humber. We will reach out to campus partners with further information on how to get involved. If you would like to include an event you are hosting for students, and would like it posted on our welcome calendar, please reach out to mitchelle.mercado@humber.ca.
