What is the purpose of the
engagement experience?
The engagement experience exists to
provide students with a diverse range of
opportunities to apply their knowledge,
develop skills and explore their values
and attitudes while working in different
communities to address their needs.
You’ll get the chance to develop, hone
and strengthen your leadership and
collaborative skills as well as acquire a
deeper, critical understanding of political,
social, environmental and economic issues.
How will Global Citizenship Learning
help me get a job?
The opportunities offered by the Centre
allow you to enhance your creative
thinking skills, increase your leadership
skills and global awareness and
network with industry and community
organizations. Everything that you do and
learn can go in your resume and portfolio,
giving you a competitive edge when
applying for jobs. The contacts you make
during these opportunities can lead you to
that job.
Orientation@Centennial
A New Student Orientation Program
Designed to Promote Success
Regardless of your pathway into (or
maybe back to) Centennial College,
there is a lot of information to take in
and areas with which you will want to
connect. Orientation@Centennial is a
comprehensive new student orientation
program facilitated by departments from
across the college including the Centennial
College Student Association, Inc. (CCSAI),
Services and Global Experiences (SaGE),
Residence Life, the Centre for Students
with Disabilities (CSD), and Student Life
and Transitions (SLT) that is designed to get
you started on your road to success. It is
our goal to develop a sense of community
amongst students at Centennial College,
while supporting a successful transition
for new students into their programs, the
college, and the city. Events range from
high-intensity concerts and team-building
activities, to low-intensity activities,
workshops, and learning circles. Our aim is
to ensure that you get the information you
need, have opportunities to get acclimated
within our COLTS community, and most
importantly, have fun!
