Thousands of students return to Durham College for spring semester

Durham College (DC) welcomed over 3,500 students for the new Spring semester, this week.

Our Faculties of Business and Information Technology and Health Sciences will deliver innovative, hands-on learning to our returning and first-year students.

“It’s always so exciting to see our campus filled with students on the first day of classes,” said Dr. Jean Choi, Vice President, Academic and Students. “Watching students take their first steps toward building their future careers—and knowing they’re on a path to make a real impact both locally and globally—is incredibly inspiring. Their excitement is contagious and reminds all of us at DC why we’re so passionate about creating a welcoming environment where every student can thrive and feel like they truly belong.”

On May 2, Academic Welcome Day gave new students their first chance to meet classmates, connect with faculty members and get important information about their programs.

“It made me feel more comfortable and ready for my classes,” said Lina Charles, a first-year Practical Nursing student.

A number of fun activities are planned for the rest of May to help them excel both in and out of the classroom, from donut giveaways and crafting sessions to workshops on time management and academic integrity.

The semester may have begun, but there’s still time to register for your own DC program. Limited space is available in our Computer Systems Technician, Computer Programming, Cloud Computing and Fitness and Health Promotion programs. Registration is open until May 16, so don’t delay!

To learn more about DC, including the full range of programs that start in September, visit us at Program Information Nights May 13 (Oshawa campus) and 14 (Whitby campus).

Warm winter welcome for new DC students

The weather may be cold, but the welcome is warm for new students at Durham College (DC).

This winter semester, over 2,000 students are embarking on their DC journeys. To help them start strong, we hosted Academic Welcome Day at both our campuses on Friday, January 3. In Oshawa, students were greeted by Dr. Jean Choi, Vice President, Academic and Students, while in Whitby they were welcomed by Tara Koski, Dean, Students. They also met the Deans of their respective Faculties and heard from representatives of the Durham College Student Association.

The welcome sessions were followed by individual program orientations, as well as a social event in the Marketplace Cafeteria in Oshawa and in the Games Room/Shop in Whitby.

It was an invaluable opportunity for new and returning students alike.

“Academic Welcome Day helps students develop a sense of belonging and community, and sets them up for a successful start to their program,” said Lucy Romao Vandepol, Director, Student and Career Development. “This event provides incoming first-year students with an opportunity to connect with their faculty and peers, while also learning about essential program-specific details to help them start the year off on the right foot.”

Early Childhood Education student Nickey is excited to be back at DC after previously enrolling in two other programs.

“When I was at DC in the past I liked being in class and meeting new friends, so I’m excited to do that again,” she said. “I also didn’t do any of the orientation activities before, so I wasn’t aware of all the services on campus and what each building had. It’s really cool to know what’s in the building, like a doctor’s office!”

International students also took advantage of the event. Maasim, who has a master’s degree from the University of Windsor, is enrolled in Data Analytics and looks forward to preparing for his career with the courses and co-op in his program.

“Overall, I feel very welcomed here,” he said.

With classes now underway, there are a number of fun activities for students to enjoy this week and throughout the month of January. A full schedule of events is available online.
