Another successful orientation season has come to a close. Thank you to everyone who volunteered for our activities.  Your help was invaluable and we could not have done it without you!

Here is a quick breakdown of our major orientation events for your reading pleasure.

Library Passport Tours:

The winner of our Library Passport Tour was Taeyeoun K., she won a $100 gift certificate to Shop usask.

We had 6 staff volunteers take the students around on a walking tour of all libraries on campus, including The Shannon Library at STM.  We offered a total of 6 walking tours and 9 students took the tour. We made a total of 365 passports and of that, 249 passports where taken by students and 31 completed passports were turned in.

Orientation Day:

We had well over 200 students come to our library table to talk to us and find out how we can support them during their academic career. We handed out a total of 192 library branded tumblers to students. 10 staff volunteered to do roving and be a friendly face for students trying to navigate their first week on campus.  We also had 7 staff volunteers taking shifts at the orientation table welcoming students to the University Library.

Murray Library Tours:

The Murray Library offered 28 tours combining tours of the physical space and an overview of the library’s website.  40 students attended the tours hosted by 6 staff volunteers. The tours highlight library spaces and services.

A special Thank-You to all our volunteers!
