First Year Students Embark on CUE Quest

Dr. Joy Fehr teaches UNIV101 in the Ad Building chapel.

A new batch of over 100 first year students arrived on campus Sunday and are now fully immersed in CUE* Quest.  Also known as UNIV101, CUE Quest is an intensive week-long course for first-year students that helps them make the important transition to university while providing vital information and resources needed to flourish as a CUC student.

"CUE Quest will introduce you to all aspects of campus life and prepare you for a successful first year at university," Dr. Joy Fehr, vice president for academic administration, told students at the start of the week-long course she teaches.  Because the class is so large, Dr. Fehr is assisted by a group of experienced students, some of whom are shown in the video below giving new students a joyful greeting as they enter the Administration Building.

In UNIV101 students are often asked to answer survey questions by texting in their response.

Canadian University College does a number of things to ensure first year students have a smooth transition to university life.  In addition to UNIV101 there is a special weekend campout designed to help all of the first year students make as many new friends as possible.  Some new students even receive help moving into their dorm room.
