UPDATE: The SACtivities Fair is being held in the Athletic Centre (otherwise known as the Gym) this Sunday, September 9th from 1-5PM- make sure you come out and see how you can get involved with clubs and societies on campus!

Hope you're having a great summer and that you're getting excited for what is sure to be an unforgettable introduction to Mount Allison! My name is Veronika Fitzgerald, and I am beyond thrilled to be your Orientation Chair. On behalf of myself, the Orientation Committee (White Shirts) and Student Guides (Yellow Shirts), I'd like to extend to you a warm welcome and congratulate you on making the wise decision to attend the number one undergraduate university in Canada!

I started planning for Orientation in February, and you better believe that I've been counting down the days until you, the incoming class, arrive. I've been working hard to make sure that you feel welcome as soon as you step foot on campus. Orientation is not just two incredible, high-energy weeks, but it is also your introduction to university life. Coming to University is a fresh start, and I encourage you to make the most of this opportunity! Each event is designed to help you to “branch out” (our Orientation theme this year) - meet new people, build new friendships, and familiarize yourself with the campus, the people and resources within it. I promise you that during Orientation, there is something for everyone, and in that way it mirrors the many opportunities to get involved at Mount Allison—from athletics, to performing arts, to different clubs and societies. I encourage you to try something you never have before!

This website is jam packed full of introductions to your Orientation Committee and Student Guides, as well as information about our theme this year, how to pre-order your welcome pack, and what you can expect for your arrival at MTA. It has an Orientation Schedule; we have inspirational speakers, a First Class Bash concert as well as many other exciting events! There is also a detailed campus map and mandatory instructions for how to successfully navigate move-in day. I can't wait until August 30th when you all arrive, and I hope that you're as excited as I am! If you have any questions feel free to call me (maybe), email me, or drop by the SAC office if you're in Sackville.

Garnet & Gold Love,
Veronika Fitzgerald
