Doha: Stenden University Qatar organised orientation days for new students last week.
The programme was designed to help new comers to familiarise themselves with the campus and to the new academic environment as well as many other aspects of academic and social life at the campus. Throughout the orientation days, the freshmen received information on academic programmes, study skills, and IT facilities.
Students got the chance to make a campus tour, meet lecturers, discover student services, and learn about library facilities. The orientation was also a chance for the new students to have a clear idea about student social life and extra-curricular activities.
The orientation days were a rich experience for the new students along with the senior students who volunteered to help out the organisers during the week; this was much appreciated from both sides.
The volunteers held several responsibilities during the week such as food and beverages and touring with the new students around the campus.
Questions and answers sessions, a number of presentations from faculty members and the Student Representative Council (SRC) regarding study skills and techniques were provided to the new students in order to adapt them to the academic and social environment of Stenden University Qatar.
