Hey everyone! My name is Cal and today I'm
with the Life at Humber Media Team and
we're going to be showing you the Behind
the Scenes of what to expect on your
orientation day.
Right now we're by some transit and so
depending if you come here by bus or if
you come here by car there's gonna be
leaders all around here to help you out
let's go! (sings)
(laughing) Are you going to record the entire way through?
Now we're on our way to Opening
Ceremonies and I think, yeah, I think up
there I see one of the leaders so let's
go ask them about how to get there!
Hi, excuse me! I was wondering where Opening
Ceremonies is?
Opening Ceremonies is actually just down the hall,
you can keep walking straight
and then you'll see you like a whole
group of people wearing the same pink
t-shirt as me and they can help further
direct you to the gym! Awesome thank
you I'm also just a quick question for
you! Also, if there is a student coming here
today and they want to make the most out
of their day when what advice could you
give...? Ask questions. Ask as many questions
as possible it doesn't matter who
anybody. Anybody can assist you even
trying to ask questions, maybe at the
bookstore, IGNITE, any resources just
use them to your best advantage. So just
get as much information as possible? For
sure! Always
Awesome, thank you very much! Take care! No problem.
Have a good day! You too! They're so nice here!
Woohoo! (cheering)
Here at Opening Ceremonies, students are
going to be able to meet people from
their Academic School, IGNITE which is
our student government and student
services and they're going to talk a
little bit about all the awesome things
happening next week which is called
Welcome Week. I highly recommend going to
those events and workshops because
you're gonna be able to learn how to
make the most out of your school year as
well as how to get involved on campus.
I think it's starting soon so let's take a seat!
(music)
And that wraps up the Opening
Ceremonies! Right now we have students
going to the Meet Your Faculty session
which is a session that allows students
to ask questions to their professors and
meet their future classmates and then
the friends and families of those
students have an orientation for
themselves, so it's called the Friends
and Family session and they learn how
they can support their Humber student
the best that they can.
Afterwards we're gonna check-in with
those sessions and ask some people about
how the experience went. How did you find
the experience going to the Family and
Friends session? it was a good experience
a lot of information... it was an
opportunity for, you know, parents to ask
questions to help the kids support them and
so how did you find the Meet Your Faculty
session? Any feelings about it?
Well it's pretty interesting um it's
kind of nice to see like your teachers
before you start classes because you
kind of get like a feel for it so they
all seemed pretty nice so that was fun
Yeah. Other than that, it was just fun.
Would you recommend it
to like someone else who's coming here
like do you think it was pretty
informative? It just helped you
with the jitters of coming here?
Definitely it was kind of just nice to
like get like a first like feel before
you have to start class so I definitely
recommend it for anybody else that wants
to do it. So yeah! Thank you very much!
So that's about it for the Meet Your
Faculty and the Friends and Family
sessions but before you go I recommend
taking a campus tour because it's pretty
big here and we want to make sure that
you're acquainted with the area so let's
go talk to some leaders and figure that out!
Hi, excuse me! Okay so quick question for
you. If there's a student coming here for
a tour, what would be the benefit of
coming on that tour?
Absolutely! So there's a lot of secrets in
Humber, North Campus. You might get
lost on the first day so you need to
come on the day, especially our campus
tour! We will tell you the secret
resources and the classes! Yeah that's
great, thank you so much.
Thank you! Have a good day! You too!
And to add on to what Henry said, taking a tour
will really get you acquainted with the
spaces around here and also you can
figure out where the resources and
services are on campus so when you get
the chance to, take it! And that's
everything folks! That's your orientation
day from beginning to end. First year can
get pretty overwhelming so make sure
that you check out the First Year
Experience Program which is a peer
mentorship program that pairs you with
another student here who kind of
understands what it's like to be a
Humber student. I think that's about it for today
so thanks for watching and welcome to Humber!
