Unique program helps students develop academic and social strategies for beginning university in September
Friday, July 25, 2014, Peterborough
Trent University’s Office of Student Affairs hosts Bring It On! – a weekend-long orientation program for first-year students – on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27, 2014. Created in 2008, Bring It On! is unique among the student orientation programs offered at many other universities.
The program gives students an opportunity to become familiar with living in residence, develop relationships with other incoming students, and create a connection with the University before arriving in September. It also provides students with a chance to learn and build strategies for academic and social success. With its balance of social and academic programming, Bring It On! leaves participants feeling excited and prepared. Students who take part in the program have much greater success rates in their first year in university.
Students spend the weekend in small groups, participating in a variety of activities led by upper-year students, many of whom are leaders on campus. Activities include rock climbing in the Athletics Centre, canoeing on the Otonabee River, hiking up the famous Trent Drumlin, and workshops on transitioning from high school to university.
