Student Life
Student Life is committed to welcoming and supporting students. Through our programs and services, students will have a successful transition to college and access to opportunities throughout their time at Fleming, to Get Involved and Stay Connected!
Orientation
Get to know your Fleming Campus before classes begin! Orientation is your introduction to the academic year. It will include the following:
- Social programming - connect with new students and student leaders
- "Academic Orientation Day" - introducing you to your program, faculty, fellow classmates and support services
- Learn about key services and resources to be utilized during your time at Fleming College
Student Health 101
Student Health 101 is an interactive online student magazine with important topics specific to students. There will be different topics monthly and videos to accompany them, featuring Fleming College students.
Emerging Student Leaders Series
This series of workshops include 3-3 hour weekly sessions for students who wish to develop team and leadership skills in order to pursue a student leadership position at Fleming College. This is also a terrific opportunity to enhance your portfolio. Students will receive leadership certificates upon completion of this series, as well as hot meals each week they attend.
Week 1 explores "Team Building/Developing Leadership Skills" with Rick Whitteker, Coordinator of the Outdoor Adventure Skills program at our Frost Campus. This is a very interactive session. Students are sectioned off to work as a team in determining the best solution in getting a particular task done.
Week 2 is a session on "Understanding Myself As A Leader" presented by Julie Brown, former Fleming faculty. Julie uses the Insights Discovery Tool to help students better understand themselves and how they communicate and interact with others. It also helps students to identify their strengths and problem areas. This session will better equip students with the skills to establish productive relationships and leadership capabilities.
Week 3 will provide students with the opportunity to hear from student alumni "Learning From Our Alumni", about their experiences as a student during their time here at Fleming College, as well as their experiences now in the workplace.
There is no fee to associated with these workshops, so if you'd like to sign up for the next leadership series, please complete and send the application form along with your resume to Kathy Dawson at studentlife@flemingc.on.ca.
Please note: You must be planning on returning in the Fall in order to take part in these workshops and it is mandatory that you attend all sessions provided.
