ORIENTATION WEEK

The university auditorium was buzzing with excitement as freshmen students arrived for their orientation
during their first and second weeks between 21st of February and 2nd of March. The first part of orientation
was all about getting to know the university system, services, and activities. Students attended welcome
addresses from the campus director and other administrators, learned about the university’s academic
programs, and got information about student life, including housing, dining, and extracurricular activities.
They also met with their peer mentor, professors and advisors, toured the campus, and participated in
games and activities to help them get to know each other. The second part of orientation was a more
festive affair. The Marhabteyn event was a celebration of the freshmen’s arrival at the university. There were
games and activities, music and singing, prizes and giveaways, and refreshments and snacks. Students
had a chance to let loose and have some fun, and they also got to know their fellow students better. The
orientation was a great way to welcome freshmen to the university and help them get started on their
college journey. The two weeks were fun and informative, communicating key information to help freshmen
students settle into their new lives as undergraduate students with tips on how to balance academics with
a thriving campus life.
