What is 101-Week?

101-Week (also known as O-Week or Orientation Week) is the opportunity to start off your Telfer journey the right way, organized and carried out by your very own Students' Association, AETSA! From August 31st to September 6th, we bring first year students together for activities such as the Calypso Waterpark, a Mini Olympics, a boat party, a networking brunch, a bar crawl, and more!

 

101-Week also introduces you to various extracurricular opportunities and resources that Telfer has to offer. This is your first chance to make friends, get used to a new environment and begin your transition into university.

 

To attend 101-Week, we offer various kits, which all include Telfer merch and the chance to participate in our 101-Week events.

101-Week kits sell out fast so make sure to purchase them as soon as possible to secure memories that will last you a lifetime!

Past Telfie Testimonials

Caroline Alsembach, Director of Presidential Affairs

"Looking back at my first year I see just how many incredible experiences I had throughout. I owe a huge part of this to my 101-week, the guides were incredibly welcoming and really helped to get me out of my shell. I made friends with others that week that I know will be my friends throughout my entire time at university. Not only was 101-week incredible for meeting others that are in the same boat as myself, it was just as incredible regarding connections, it encouraged me to put myself out there and challenge myself, 101-week is an experience that I will never forget."
