Best Orientation Initiative

Nothing conveys the all-encompassing feeling of “campus life” better than a great Orientation Experience! Whether it’s for a whole day, a whole week, or a specifically targeted experience, it’s usually the first opportunity for students to meet and get involved with their student life organisations.

Excellent and successful orientation initiatives introduce students to a myriad of facets of campus life. From support services to programs, clubs and societies, campus venues, local supporting businesses, and more. It’s the first opportunity to formally welcome students and ensure they feel orientated and connected to campus life.

This category awards excellence in the delivery of Orientation Initiatives held on campus, or online during 2023/24. It is an opportunity for SEN members to showcase their flexibility and adaptability to the changing needs of our student communities.

Initiatives can include but are not limited to: on-campus or online campus tours, orientation events, ‘get to know each other’ events, ‘get to know your organisation’ events, clubs and society market fairs, artistic presentations by existing students ie: plays, music, nature walks, student cultural activities and events, etc.
