New Student Orientation (NSO) Welcome Week 2024 takes place from August 30 to September 7, with a fantastic lineup of events and activities planned to welcome new students to the 69传媒. 

鈥淥ur goal is to ensure that every new student feels supported, connected, and ready to embark on their university journey,鈥 said coordinators Obed Oluwakoya and Diya Bubna. 鈥淲e encourage all members of the campus community to get involved in welcoming our new students. Whether you鈥檙e a returning student, faculty, or staff, your participation makes a difference in creating a warm and inclusive environment.鈥

The week kicks off on August 30 with Residence Move-in Day, NSO Check-in, a Student Services fair, and many other events. 

A highlight of Welcome Week will be a free BBQ in the Quad, hosted by 69传媒President Wendy Rodgers and the New Student Orientation (NSO) leaders, on Tuesday, September 3, from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm for the entire campus community, featuring games, activities, music, prizes, free tickets, and more.

During the BBQ, members of the 69传媒Security Services team will be encouraging and assisting people to download the 69传媒SAFE app. Everyone is also encouraged to download the 69传媒PantherRec app to have a chance to win a UPEI-branded t-shirt, and to wear their 69传媒colours and gear!

While full-time students always have free admission to Panther home games, faculty and staff can pick up their complimentary tickets at the BBQ for the 69传媒Women鈥檚 Rugby home opener, which will take place on September 7 at 2 pm.
