Orientation: We encourage all students who are new to King’s to participate in Orientation week activities the first week of September. If you are beginning your studies in January, King’s does plan a shorter “Frost Week” so please plan to attend. Academic program information, academic resource information sessions, tours of campus, and a variety of social and entertainment events at King’s and Western are all part of the week’s activities.
King’s Academic Mentoring Program (KAMP) is designed to address every aspect of our students’ interaction with our community to maximize their likelihood of academic and personal success. This involves mentoring students on issues ranging from basic life skills, to the rhythm of student life, and the various academic checkpoints and milestones that they will encounter. Mentors also provide guidance on how to successfully transition to university from high school. Conceived as a student-run mentoring program housed under the auspices of the Dean of Students, it is designed to entice exemplary students to seek opportunities of volunteerism at King’s. It provides an opportunity for senior students to give back to the King’s community and guide younger students in their journey through academia. kings.uwo.ca/current-students/academic-resources/ kamp/overview/
