- OSS 雷速体育_雷速体育直播
The Office of 雷速体育_雷速体育直播 Success hosted an immersive and engaging orientation day for first-year Health Sciences students. This introduced them to a wide array of support services available within the faculty to enhance the students’ experience as they transition into their university journey at Wits. This dynamic event aimed to acquaint students with vital resources and cultivate camaraderie and a sense of belonging within the academic community.
The day's agenda was filled with interactive games and activities such as quizzes. Over 900 students participated in the induction, navigating through stations manned by the OSS, the Registrar’s Office, and Health Sciences 雷速体育_雷速体育直播 staff members alongside Gateway to Success (GTS) ambassadors.
This was followed by the Faculty of Health Sciences' annual "Welcome and Oath-Taking Day" ceremony which saw the students being formally welcomed by the Dean, Heads of Schools and student council. The objective of this segment is divided into two folds. Firstly, it serves as a warm reception for new students embarking on their full-time enrolment within the faculty. It includes those transitioning from other departments at the East Campus to commence their second year at the faculty’s Parktown campus. Among those who are inducted into the faculty are graduates from their third year of study who entered the MBBCh program through the Graduate Entry Medical Programme (GEMP). Secondly, the ceremony entails an oath-taking component, specifically designed for students undertaking anatomy courses and engaging in clinical work.
As we reflect on the success of the Faculty of Health Sciences’ orientation to the first-year students, the faculty extends its heartfelt appreciation to all participants and facilitators whose contributions ensured the event's resounding success. Throughout the year, the OSS will invest in continuous improvement to focus on supporting students.
Together, we are forging a vibrant and supportive academic community within the Faculty of Health Sciences.
