In January, Durham College (DC) rolled out the welcome mat for more than 2,000 new students at Orientation events.

A number of fun and informative events kicked off the winter semester for the newest members of our DC community. Students at both Oshawa and Whitby campuses explored their new surroundings, met employees and faculty members, discovered campus services and learned more about their new programs.

There were also a number of orientation events for international students that helped them make the transition to Canada.

Lots of fun was had at Winterfest, where new students sparked connections and friendships with fellow attendees while playing games, enjoying free food and grabbing DC swag.

Orientation events continue until February, from helpful workshops to fun events like Beach Night at the Durham Lords basketball game and a free late-night skate at the Campus ICE Centre.

There are lots of ways to get involved in campus life at DC this winter; learn about some of them here!
