What are students encouraged to participate in for a better onboarding experience?

Participating in social events and community service activities enhances the onboarding experience for students by providing them with opportunities to connect with peers and faculty outside of the academic setting. These interactions foster a sense of belonging and community, which is essential for new students as they transition into university life. Engaging in social events allows students to develop friendships, find support networks, and feel more integrated into campus culture. Community service activities also enable students to give back to their new community, fostering a sense of purpose and engagement.

While other options may offer valuable experiences, such as academic workshops, networking opportunities, or counseling sessions, they may not provide the same level of community building and personal connection that social events and service activities do. The focus on community engagement through social events and service not only supports individual growth but also strengthens the overall campus environment.
