Re-orienting the University

Talk at the latest meeting of the October Club centred around the Orientation Week discussions and lectures. This year a group of students formed an Orientation Committee to approach stage 1 students to try and create some awareness among students about their role in the university, and the university's role in society.

The medium chosen was that which figures most prominently in the life of the student—the lecture. Coupled with hand-outs which tried to create student awareness, these lectures were aimed at building an atmosphere conducive to dialogue and discussion.
