From this article, I learned that effective orientation programs should be interactive, engaging, and well-structured to make students feel welcomed and connected to the institution. Activities such as progressive departmental tours, team-based games, and resource stations create opportunities for interaction and camaraderie while reinforcing important information. Including current students or graduates adds credibility and relatability. Ending with Q&A ensure clarity and confidence. Lastly, balancing fun with professionalism is key to leaving a positive, credible impression!
