As cold as it was on Tuesday, there seemed to be a great turn out for the first student orientation of 2017.

Eva Wong, Gina Koehn, and I (Kelly Juliusson) were happy to run the booth for the University Library and Student Learning Services during the final portion of the orientation. We were stationed on the second floor of the new and absolutely gorgeous Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre along with many other important groups on campus.

The students were tasked with learning something new from 8 different booths to enter a draw for some winter gear, but we had also had a little game at our table. Students were asked 1 of 3 questions and told to use the library’s website to find the answer. One question even had students interacting with our Ask Us IM service (a special thanks to Chalyse LaLonde for this). For participating in this game, students were given a water bottle for their efforts. There was also candy and toothbrushes (you read that right) for everyone!
