Strategic HIGHLIGHTS
Student Support & Engagement Engagement and Access—Online and In-Person
While the Campus welcomed many aspects of the return to face-to-face activities, departments responsible for student engagement continued to note increased participation in some virtual events and increased access to several services. First Year Experience The Division for Student Service & Development (DSSD) reported that participation in the First Year Experience (FYE) programme increased significantly in its virtual format that include a new “Smart Start” pre-orientation four-part virtual series and the introduction of the FYE 101 orientation course housed on my e-Learning which attracted an enrolment of 1,238 persons. For more, visit the FYE website or the FYE YouTube Channel. World of Work The annual World of Work (WOW) programme saw an increase in participation, with over 400 participants across events—not including WOW-specific events, most of which were once again held virtually. Eleven companies held sessions where the participation ranged from 170 students to 701, and webinar visits totalled more than 3,000. The participating companies were Alliance One, Advisors Next Door, CIBC, EY (the most popular session), KPMG, Office of Procurement Regulation, Republic Bank, Shell, Sherwin Williams, Skillpik, and Wepala. There were also sessions on topics such as Cyber-Bullying, Internet Addiction and Digital Transformation, Personal Branding and Professional Communication, Job-Hunting Techniques, Résumé Writing, Negotiating Employment Contracts, Preparing for Global Opportunities, and LinkedIn Profile Optimisation. The main sponsor of the WOW programme remains Republic Bank.
