With the new academic year beginning, students are starting a new phase in life.As terrifying as it can be, here are some tips that seniors can consider while welcoming freshers to their college...
CULTURE CHECK
Learn about the students' cultural patterns in order to help make them feel at home. It helps them open up and feel comfortable in a diverse crowd.
BEYOND BOUNDARIES
Activities that are conducted outside the classroom play an important role in creating a fun and balanced peer environment. These activities can include a short introduction to the college or an interactive session among students. Non-verbal activities like displaying paintings and photographs curated by the freshers can boost their confidence.
FRESHER BUDDY
Assign a buddy to help a fresher settle s in the college. A buddy can show t them around the campus and spend time with them during breaks and free time.
`CLUB'BING
Form interactive clubs that connect freshers to each other. This helps create a common ground to get acquainted to like-minded people.
ADVENTURE CAMPS
Some colleges conduct camps for students who are inclined towards adventure sports. These camps facilitate interaction among groups that stay together for a short period of time.
FRESHERS PARTY
Playing the host involves organising a party for the newcomers. This party is an effective way to bring them out of their shells and socialise with seniors, as well as peers. But make the bash fun by having interesting and fun themes. You can host events where both seniors and freshers dress like yesteryear actors and dance to classic hits. Give things an intellectual twist by hosting a mock parliament session.
SELFIE BOOTHS
Set up a selfie booth in the campus, where freshers can click pictures with seniors. Make sure the poses are crazy so they can become comfortable with each other in the five minutes they spend there. Some interesting snaps can be published in the college's annual magazine as well.
