August 26, 2016 – Thunder Bay, ON

The Thunderwolves Howl! Fall Orientation will welcome new students to Lakehead University and introduce them to the Thunder Bay campus.

Thunderwolves Howl! 2016 will run from Monday, Aug. 29 until Saturday, Sept. 10, and will focus on helping students successfully transition to Lakehead University. This year’s orientation will feature a first – students in Thunder Bay will connect with their peers at the Orillia campus through live stream for the opening commencement ceremony on Friday, Sept. 2 in the Hangar.

“Another event that students will definitely enjoy is Magnetic Midnight, which offers DJs, a laser light show and prizes donated by local businesses,” said Jo Krisko, Manager of the Student Success Centre.

“All of Lakehead’s orientation events offer a chance for new students to get to know each other and become familiar with the campus,” she added.

Events and activities will cater to students entering from high school, college/university transfer, international, Aboriginal and mature students. Faculty and staff at Lakehead look forward to welcoming new undergraduate students and their families to the Thunder Bay campus.

“These events will ensure students have a positive introduction to Lakehead and start the year prepared and excited for this new academic adventure,” said Chris Glover, Director of Student Affairs. “Orientation provides students with information and strategies to help them be successful at Lakehead,” he said.

Orientation will introduce new students to their classmates and professors, and ensure they know about the many services and supports available to them. The Thunderwolves Howl! Orientation is being organized by the Student Success Centre, Residence & Conference Services, and the Lakehead University Student Union.
