Welcome Day: Thursday September 6

Stop by the Indigenous Student Centre booth at OCAD U Welcome Day! Meet some of our staff, learn about our services, and enter for your chance to win a gift basket full of goodies from Indigenous-owned businesses! Welcome Day is the day we see 1,000 new students descend upon campus to kick off the academic year! Engagement is fun and inviting—including a special welcome and Service Expo, the Annual Above Ground Art Supplies Materials Fair, and Community Fair with free lunch courtesy of Salad King, and a corn roast by Mr. Corn—and more! Welcome day is presented by Campus Life and the OCAD U Student Union, and runs from 9:30am-3:30pm in and outside of 100 McCaul. For more information about other events during welcome day click here.
