CQUni campuses across Australia hosted Orientation events last week creating excitement among our first-year students. Each campus welcomed new and returning students and provided a taste of university life.
Attendees had the opportunity to get to know our student services, campus life committees, academic staff and other students at information sessions, market stalls and social events.
We captured all the fun that happened across the nation and wanted to share it with you! Keep reading to view the highlights of orientation and to see if you and your mates were snapped!
What did our students like the most?
Students had great reactions and comments about this year’s orientation. The stalls were a big hit, allowing students to learn what is on offer and available at CQUni. Students especially enjoyed the social events as it allowed them to interact with other people and immerse themselves in the uni experience. Our international students loved the wildlife sessions. Some of them having their first experience with Australian animals.
We asked two first-year nursing student what they thought about orientation.
