NEWTS Orientation

HUGE NEWT-ORIOUS WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME NEWTS!

The NEWTS family is a uniquely upper-year and inter-faculty group, including global exchange students, returning Bader College students and upper-year transfers.  We are beyond ecstatic to have you all join our family and community, and to be one of your first experiences in your new life at Queen’s. We hope to bring you days of fun, years of new friendships, and a lifetime of invaluable memories.

Over this unforgettable week, we collaborate with Kingston businesses and Queen’s organizations to help you have a smooth integration and wonderful welcome into this wonderful city. From fun, bonding, relaxation, and exploration, we’ve got it all covered; look forward to activities like a Welcome Pizza Party, an eye-opening Tour of the Town of the bustling Kingston downtown area, the infamous Queen’s tradition of coverall painting and tamming, and a dreamy semi-formal. Orientation and beyond, your Geckos (orientation leaders) and NCs (executives) will always be here, and we cannot wait!
