Fall term is underway and the SMU community has come together to make the transition to university easy, safe and fun for new students during New to SMU’s Welcome Weeks.
Welcome Weeks kicked off with residence move-in, meet-and-greets and the high-energy P.U.M.P. and SMUSA Husky Festival. New students signed the university register during the Santamarian Ceremony, where President Michael Khan, faculty, staff, alumni and student leaders shared the values of Saint Mary’s and advice for the exciting journey ahead.
Events for International, Black, Indigenous, and 2SLGBTQIA+ students and the Fred Smithers Centre for Student Accessibility gave students an opportunity to learn about campus supports and connect with community.
Students also attended academic welcome events, explored Halifax and cheered on the Huskies. Departments and Pack Leaders provided many chances to learn about SMU, meet new friends and most importantly, have fun!
There are still a few days of Welcome Weeks activities left! Here’s what’s coming up:
