Summer Connect 2026: New Student Orientation
Trent University’s Summer Connect programming offers an informative experience designed to help incoming students and their supporters feel confident and connected as they prepare for the transition to university life.
This year, Trent's Peterborough's Orientation Team will be hosting two in-person sessions at the Symons Campus in Peterborough and four virtual webinars.
These Summer Connect sessions will help you:
- Know what to expect when you arrive in September
- Make informed academic decisions
- Connect with fellow students and staff
- Learn more about all the ways to get involved on campus – student life, clubs & groups, athletics, and more!
On-campus sessions will kick off with small group introductions, giving students a chance to connect with staff and peers. From there, students and their guests will hear a keynote address and attend a Student Services Panel highlighting key supports – like Housing, Financial Aid, Wellness, Athletics & Recreation, and the Colleges of Trent. Throughout the day, participants will rotate through interactive sessions that outline what it’s like to study, live, and succeed at Trent.
Additional day-of details will be communicated after registration.
