Back to School: Orientation Week

Welcome back students! And for many of you, welcome to SIM!

The fall semester kicked off with SIM Orientation; a week filled with welcome events and activities designed to introduce new students to Dalhousie and the SIM community. The students were welcomed to a breakfast mixer, went on a campus tour, attended the annual Dalhousie Libraries Summer Shine, and networked at the Professional Organizations and Associations Fair. The week concluded with a SIM social at the Oxford Taproom which saw a great turnout, and many slices of pizza eaten!

SIMSA has exciting programming planned for the upcoming year. We are currently ordering SIM apparel, which is also available to faculty, staff, and alumni. We have an updated constitution with reformed chair positions and roles. We are working in conjunction with other societies in the Faculty of Management to put on exciting joint events like an international fair and a book club. SIMSA is also working closely with SIM to plan a fall event for both students and faculty. With October around the corner, there are sure to be many spooky events lined up. Stay tuned…

Below is a picture from the Halifax City Walk, an orientation event led by SIMSA’s Non-Academic Chair, Janine. Is there a lovelier way to end a walk in Halifax than in the Public Gardens? Perhaps a stop at Dairy Bar!
