Week of Welcome Helps New Students Adapt to University Life

ALOR SETAR, 8 January 2024 – Albukhary International University (AIU) enthusiastically welcomed its annual orientation week through a program, named the Week of Welcome (WoW) beginning on January 8, 2024. The program was attended by approximately 400 new students who commenced their learning journey in the First Semester, October 2023/2024 Intake.

This program provided the opportunity for the new students to get to know AIU better and learn about its uniqueness as a university that focuses on Social Business, as the only niche for the University.

Although the students have commenced their programs, they must know how to adapt to campus life during their studies at AIU, said Nidhoil Mohamed Ibrahim, the Director of the Student Affairs Department.

“We hope the new students will take this opportunity to understand their role and the diverse services provided to them and start to build a network of friends, peers, and colleagues they might need to support their learning journey,” he added.

On the first day, apart from sharing sessions from departments like the Student Affairs Department, International Student Unit, Registry Office, and Albukhary Centre of Excellence in Socio-Economic Development and Innovation, there were many other activities set to strengthen bonding among new students and their seniors.

Facilitating the event were 40 seniors handpicked from the Student Representative Council (SRC), Resident Council, and Peers.
