FOA Orientation Day

The Students Orientation Week was held on the 6 August 2010 at the RBLT. The Orientation Week offered first year students an apercu of University life to facilitate their integration on campus. The Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Prof S. Jugessur, GOSK, and the Vice Chancellor, Prof K. Morgan, addressed the students through video presentations. One of the key messages of the Pro chancellor is that professional excellence should be matched with excellence in other areas such as social, spiritual etc.The Dean of Faculty introduced the Faculty and provided key information to students about the education system at the University. Mrs Nivault, the Public Relations Officer gave an overall view of the roles and functions of the Public Relations office and asked the students to reflect on the meaning of the coat of arms ( Knowledge is Salvation to the homeland) ( La connaissance est le salut del la patrie) of the University. the President of Student Union and student representative on the Faculty Board also addressed the students. They both encouraged the students to integrate into University life and to make the most on their studies.

Each student was provided with an information pack which contains a wealth of information on University Regulations and other on campus facilities and student services. After the welcome speeches, the Programme Coordinators gave the students detailed information on their respective programme of studies.The morning session was followed in the afternoon by a guided tour of the campus and of the Faculty of Agriculture premises.
