Canadore Hosting Student Welcome Sessions
Canadore College is hosting its final Beat the Rush session this Friday. New Canadore College students and their parents will have an opportunity to become engaged with the College and the City of North Bay. The event provides students with information, an opportunity to meet College employees and access to the tools that they need to be well-prepared for their academic studies in the fall.
Beat the Rush includes activities that are geared to student success. Hands-on seminars such as postsecondary budgeting techniques and a student-led panel are coupled with an orientation to College services. Parents have the opportunity to learn more about their children’s education by attending the day and spending time with the people who will be teaching, mentoring and supporting their children.
Shannon Revie, Beat the Rush coordinator says, “The purpose of Beat the Rush is for students and their families to become acquainted with the College and officially become a part of the Canadore family. We want to give our students the best jumpstart possible by showcasing what Canadore has to offer. I am positive that the transition into college life will be more comfortable for those who participate in the Beat the Rush events.”
Beat the Rush is taking place at the College Drive Campus on August 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
