Get to know your Campion community and get a “Headstart” on your first year!
Monday, August 28, 2023, 10:00 am to 4:30 pm
Building connections with your College community – peers, professors, and more – will help you to enjoy your time at University and be a more successful student. The Headstart program is your chance to start making those connections before classes even begin.
Activities will include:
– Profs sharing their knowledge and experience
– A tour of some of the key locations on Campus (and the staff members who are here to help you)
– Opportunities to meet students who share your interests
– Time to ask questions
– A one of a kind Campion Headstart final activity which will put all you’ve learned into practice
Best of all, it’s FREE! Registration will go live on June 1.
Reach out to sarah.greenwood@uregina.ca or 306-359-1238 if you have questions.
How much does it cost to participate in Campion Headstart?
It’s 100% FREE! You simply have to be an incoming first-year student registered through Campion College.
What are the prizes I can win?
The day will culminate in a team activity, and the winners will receive some fun prizes (and bragging rights) but there will also be a door prize worth $1000!
Should I attend this event if I’m already going to first-year orientation?
Yes! This event is an add-on to Orientation, just for Campion students.
The registration form says I need to pick discussion group topics…what’s that all about?
In the afternoon, you’ll be matched with a discussion group with a leader to guide the discussion and help answer your questions. It’s a chance to meet some peers who might have some interests in common with you, have an interesting conversation, and ask some questions of a staff member or senior student. Don’t over-think it, just pick a couple of topics that sound interesting!
What about lunch? Do I have to pay for it?
Your lunch is FREE (plus a FREE coffee break in the afternoon)
There will a place on your registration to indicate if you have any dietary restrictions.
How long is the day?
Registration starts at 10:00 am, and we will wrap up by 4:30 pm.
Where does this event take place?
Headstart will take place in-person at Campion College. We’ll meet you on the main floor on the day of the event.
