Preparations are Underway for the new School Year

North Island College is hosting a number of orientation events where students can get ready for their new year and find out what supports and services are available to them.

There will be in-person and virtual orientation events open to all new and returning students.

Campbell River’s in-person orientation will be hosted on Wednesday, September 6th, with live, virtual sessions running from August 29th to 31st, along with September 12th.

Mez Jiwaji, Associate Director of Student Life, says the team is looking forward to ‘’bringing together new and current students, faculty, staff, and community partners at events focused on building relationships that support mental health and well-being, and encourage help-seeking behaviours, which are important for student success both in and outside the classrooms.”

The in-person event welcomes students to campus and connects them to their college and community partners.

Students attending the virtual sessions can learn how to navigate NIC’s digital learning platforms, discover what supports are available to them to help them achieve success, and meet their Student Life and North Island Students’ Union teams.

Classes for the fall will begin on Tuesday, September 5th.
