ALES orientation is a fantastic opportunity to build community with your new classmates and get program-specific tips and support that will help you thrive in our faculty. Be welcomed by the Dean, learn about ALES-specific opportunities beyond the classroom, including certificates, student groups and work-integrated learning and get the tools you'll need to succeed in your first term and throughout your academic career. After our orientation programming, walk with the ALES team over to the Agriculture/Forestry Building for a welcome pizza lunch.

Dietetics Orientation: An in-person orientation specifically designed for newly admitted students to the ALES Dietetics Specialization. Meet your cohort; team build, develop a team charter and learn the ins and outs of the expectations and structure of the program to set yourself up for academic and professional success.
