Academic Orientation 2012

Academic Orientation 2012 is just around the corner and the Transition Team are slaving away to make this year bigger and better than ever before! Taking place between Wednesday 22 February and Saturday 25 February, this essential event gives you the chance to get to know your campus, make new friends, find out what studying at Macquarie is really like and importantly, the chance to meet your Mentor!

Each day will feature Faculty Presentations delivered by our (amazing) Team Leaders, tours of the campus and Macquarie’s state of the art Library and the chance to attend a range of workshops, departmental welcomes, information sessions and other activities from each of the following strands: Academic Skills, ‘Get to Know Your Campus’, Career Development, ‘Enhance Your Degree’, Wellbeing@MQ, and Social and Sport at Macquarie.

Check back here soon for more information.

Orientation Hub

(Also known as the Parent’s Hub.) Each year a handful of parents and partners of new students come along to Academic Orientation with just one or two more questions to ask. This year, we will give you the chance to ‘ask us’ at our Orientation Hub. Located at the Learning Helpdesk in the Library Foyer, between 9am and midday on Orientation days, a range of representatives from a variety of campus groups and support services will be there to answer your enquiries. If you have any questions about this service or plan to attend, please drop us a line.

Mentor Training 2012

To all our Mentors and Team Leaders for the 2012 Mentors@Macquarie program, training is almost upon us. Get ready for a few days of fun, excitement and the chance to learn some new skills that will assist you in being the best Mentor ever! Details will be sent out very soon, so keep an eye on your student email.
