One American university's Qatar campus has
an odd freshman orientation:
Senior students at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q) have
enlisted the help of comic book superheroes to welcome more than 100
first-year students representing 25 nationalities during an orientation
programme that introduced them to the university’s campus, resources,
and values.
This year’s programme of events was held under the theme ‘League of
Tartans’ with classrooms across CMU-Q being decorated and named after
comic book superheroes.
On their first day, freshmen were asked to dress up as characters and
encouraged to interact with classmates and staff members to gain an
appreciation for university life and be inspired to take an active
interest in future events.
The programme eased the new students’ transition from high school to
college through activities such as community service, a treasure hunt,
ice-breaker games, karaoke and a dinner, the university said in a
statement e-mailed to Gulf News.
