Welcome to Coversity-20-21! We sincerely hope you have a wonderful year despite all that’s happening! Here’s some good news for you; Freshers’ Week is still a thing!
KSU is still planning to give us a taste of all that freebie goodness in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the health authorities of course. We wouldn’t want our lord and saviour Professor Charmaine to shut us down (although personally, I wouldn’t particularly complain, I’m in need of another week of peaceful slumber before the assignments hit).
Here’s all you need to know about this year’s socially-distanced Freshers’ Week!
First things first, if you didn’t already know, Freshers’ Week will take place between Monday 19th till Friday 23rd October between 9am and 15:30pm.
This year, this glorious week will be set up slightly different as KSU wish to emphasise on the virtual aspect of things in order to ensure the students’ safety. Nonetheless, KSU will still be setting up stations in order to distribute the KSU Fresher’s Pack and parking permits.
More good news! Student organisations will also have the opportunity to be physically present during Freshers’ Week!
This will be done by means of a roster to man the 5 stands which will be available on site. Student organisation will be allotted a specific time-frame during which they will be present and will have the opportunity to interact with the students.
Don’t worry however! All of the organisation’s members who will be manning the stand are obliged to wear a mask or a visor and they will have to provide students with hand sanitizer.
On the other hand, as stated before, KSU are trying their best to shift things onto a virtual platform. Therefore, just like every other year, KSU have set up a Facebook event where all the content created by KSU and student organisations can be shared amongst students within the very same event.
It’s not exactly everything we’ve ever dreamt of when we mention the phrase ‘Freshers’ Week’ but in light of the current circumstances, KSU and all student organisations are doing their best to keep the University expiernece alive.
Hopefully, in the coming years we’ll be able to meet and interact with you whilst scarfing down some popcorn and cake as we always do.
Until then.
Welcome to University.
