ALL WORK AND NO PLAY? THE NINGBO STUDENTS FROM CHINA HAVE ARRIVED AT HUMBER
August 16, 2017
Students from the Humber-Ningbo partnership program had a busy August after arriving in Toronto on July 31st. Participation in the five-week Orientation Program had students strengthening both their English-language and academic skills.
The students had two deliverables at the end of the five-week program:
- A written report preceded by a mind-mapping exercise and the development of an outline using their research findings, and
- A collaborative micro-workshop where student groups developed and facilitated a presentation and interactive activity for their peers.
The August Orientation Program provided the platform needed to introduce students to the academic skills that are critical to their success at Humber. But the August Orientation was not only hard work, the students also played hard.
If you were downtown Toronto on Saturday, August 12, you may have witnessed groups of Ningbo students running around the city completing their Urban Challenge. Students were given clues to find five different stations where they had to successfully complete a puzzling task before getting their next clue. An alumni of the Humber-Ningbo program returned to develop the most difficult Urban Adventure yet.
Welcome to our Ningbo students. We wish you the best of success during your stay at Humber!
