Events on campus
2012 Orientation Week
If you’re a new student you can settle in and familiarize yourself with Bendigo campus during Orientation Week (Tuesday 21 – Friday 24 February). A range of academic and social activities will take place that will give you a taste of university life. The whole idea is to help make the transition from school, work or full time family life simpler.
You will get to mingle with other new students, take part in tours and attend Academic Skills sessions on referencing, writing and research. You will find out where to go for help with assignments, medical advice and counseling, legal issues and accommodation. There will also be information sessions for students moving here from overseas
There will be a range of social events organised by the BSA. Tuesday will see O-Week kick off with an actioned packed day meeting your OWL Mentors visiting your faculties an then the official Civic Welcome on the LTU Oval before breaking off for lunch and enjoying the carnival day. On the Tuesday you will also find out about the many student social clubs on campus and a range of useful local businesses.
