Enjoyable return to school and work at ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½±
August 30th, 2023
New students were welcomed over two days of programming Aug. 17 and 18 and staff were welcomed back by Director General Diane Gauvin and Academic Dean Leanne Bennett at the annual Welcome Back Lunch on Aug. 18.
A total of 2,396 new students participated in Welcome Days and over 400 staff and faculty attended the Welcome Back address and lunch.
Student Services Coordinator, Caroline Blouin, reported that βstudents were happy to be at ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½± despite the rain.β They heard presentations from their sector dean, met the ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½± Student Union team and learned more about their program and the services available to them.
New students were invited to explore the College, meet our mascot Blue at the photobooth, see a magic show, and learn about opportunities to volunteer and work. They also could pick up some free popcorn, treats and merchandise.
The highlight for Trudy Ste. Croix of the Campus Life team βwas the level of student engagement from our 16 student tour guides and 30 amazing student volunteers.β
Carolineβs highlight was βthe use of a software program to track attendance developed by Jonathan Perlman of ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½±βs IST team. This system cut down on wait times and kept the Lower Atrium from becoming chaotic.β
βWelcome Days is a team effort meaning that it canβt be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers,β said Caroline. βIβd like to thank everyone who helped make these two welcome days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the many rooms used, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!β
