Orientation Week Workshops

Welcome to Trent!

We know the transition to university isn't easy, so we're here to help.

Orientation Week Workshops

Start off Right - Squad Sessions

Join your Orientation Squad at the Academic Skills session, titled "Start off Right." We'll cover important basics to help you feel comfortable in your first classes: effective notetaking, efficient reading strategies, and tools for regular review.

Mature and Transfer Orientation

At the Mature and Transfer Orientation, Academic Skills offers two short sessions: "Ready, Set, Go to Class Prepared" and "Read Right and Cite."

Intro to Undergrad

During Intro to Undergrad, Academic Skills explores common assignments and valuable skills that students develop in their field of study. Students also hear from Academic Advisors about the opportunities in their degree pathways at Trent and from Careers staff about how to engage in valuable experiences and find a meaningful career path. The event ends with a conversation with faculty about their work and their lives outside of the academy. Three separate sessions are offered: Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities.
