• Icebreaker Games: Fun and interactive icebreaker games are a great way for students to get to know each other. These games help break the initial awkwardness and create a positive and inclusive atmosphere.
• Campus Scavenger Hunt: Organize a scavenger hunt across campus to familiarize students with important locations, landmarks, and resources. It’s an engaging way to explore the campus. 
• Welcome Socials: Host welcome social events where students can mingle, enjoy refreshments, and connect with each other. These events provide a casual setting for making new friends. 
• Themed Parties: Organize themed parties or mixers to add an element of fun. Themes could range from retro parties to costume events, fostering creativity and a relaxed environment. 
• Student Performances: Showcase talents within the student body by arranging performances such as music, dance, or drama. It’s a great way for students to express themselves and be entertained. 
• Outdoor Activities: Plan outdoor activities like a picnic, sports tournaments, or team-building exercises. Outdoor events encourage physical activity and provide a break from traditional orientation sessions. 
• Movie Night: Host a movie night where students can relax, enjoy a film together, and unwind after a day of orientation activities. This can be held indoors or outdoors, weather permitting.
