Come join Guelph Engineering on Monday, September 5th in the THRN atrium anytime between 7:30pm and 9:30pm for some good ol' fashioned video games and board games! We're going to have a Nintendo Wii as well as a Switch and we'll just be hanging out, playing games. So drop in for a game or stay a while and just chill, forget about your worries (at least for a bit), and hang out with friends! This is a free event.

Want to get involved in some cool engineering related clubs and extracurriculars? Come out and explore all the amazing opportunities that the Guelph Engineering department has to offer and make your mark. Roam around the atrium in Thornbrough, visit as many club booths that interest you, talk to club representatives and look out for some free merch these clubs may have to offer. A great way to start your journey in engineering here at the University of Guelph. This is a free event.

Come join us in kicking off your O-Week the Guelph Engineering way! This event will include O-Week kit, but don’t worry if you forgot to buy one – we’ll be selling more here too, as well as Guelph Engineering merch. It’ll also be a time for you (our Little Buddies) to meet each other and join into groups with our upper year students (known as Big Buddies).
