Orientation Week

Orientation Week runs Sept. 1 to Sept. 9. While the week is geared to first-year students, there are a number of events that community members are welcome to join!

• Move-In Day – Sept. 1 (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
  Watch the intranet later this month for more information on places you should avoid during this hectic Saturday (unless you’re moving in!). Interested in helping out? Volunteers are needed! Sign up on GryphLife or email Rosanna Beattie (rbeattie@uoguelph.ca) for more information.
• Move-In Night March to Johnston Green – Sept. 1 (8:40 p.m. – 9:20 p.m.)
  As new students march to Johnston Green, their route will be lined with U of G community members, decked out in U of G swag, welcoming them to campus with signs and cheers! Sign up to take part in this exciting new event.
• GryphFest – Sept. 2 (5:00 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.)
  Johnston Green will be transformed into a carnival and music festival! Local bands, carnival games, bouncy castles and food trucks create a fun-filled second night on campus.
• Pep Rally – Sept. 5 (7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.)
  New students and Orientation Volunteers take to Alumni Stadium to dance the night away and show off their U of G spirit! This time-honoured tradition includes toy winding, cheering and a whole lot of Gryphon enthusiasm. Be part of the excitement!
