We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive together
- Tom Petty, A Higher Place
And arrive they did!

Orientation day activities
opened with plenty of students
taking part and exploring their
new,(or in some cases '‘old'),
surroundings.

Students partook of a vast
range of activities and lectures
all across the campus. Every-
thing from the Open Houses to
the Information Booth set up
through the University's main
halls to the Dunk Tank,(where
many of the UNBC personalities
made waves with students).

Amidst the milling sea of
humanity, I discovered Ray
Zukanovich, the Student
Orientation Co-ordinator, hiding
out in the Student Services
office, trying to get a bite to eat.

"I'm afraid I'm going to eat
through this," he said smiling,
"It's been a busy day."

I asked him about the
upcoming activities and the
expectations for the Orientation

overall, a,

"Well, the focus is primarily
on the first year students, but the
‘veterans’ of the student body are
welcome to come out as well.
The orientation guide is essential
to staying on top of the events
which will be happening on, and
in some cases, off campus.

"We also have a broad range
of clubs on campus which are
available for students to join, and
we do encourage those students
who do not find a club which -

’ they would like to join to start

their own."

"Because the orientation
activities last not just for a week,
but for a month, we have tried to
make them exciting in addition
to being academic."

Students can have a great
deal to look forward to in the
months to come, as the Student
Services and Student social
Services work to create a fun and
enjoyable time for all in the
coming Winter months.
