Abstract

“Today is a celebration – the start of a journey,” said Livia Castellanos, Associate Vice-President & Chief International Officer of UR International as she addressed new International students. “Enjoy it. Take it all in. This is a new adventure you are about to start!”

Orientation for all new students took place on Tuesday as a way for students to acclimate to University life, and better adapt before the start of classes. Knowing that International students have unique needs, a separate orientation for International students was created. It’s designed to be less intimidating for students experiencing life in a new country to meet and a great way to learn together. It provides a fun atmosphere with food, music, prizes, and some friendly competition.
