College of Natural + Applied Sciences Orientation Programs

ALES orientation is a fantastic opportunity to join us in-person to build community with your new classmates and get program-specific tips and support that will help you thrive in your new academic home. Be welcomed by the Dean, learn about ALES-specific opportunities in and beyond the classroom, including certificates, student groups and work integrated learning experiences and get the tools you'll need to succeed in your first term and throughout your academic career. After our orientation programming, walk with the ALES team over to the Agriculture/Forestry Building for a casual welcome pizza lunch with our faculty and staff.

Here’s what’s planned:

• Meet and Greet
• Pizza lunch to connect with your fellow ALES classmates, faculty and staff
