The annual Fresher’s Day is a key event in the university calendar, organized to officially welcome first-year students and help them integrate into campus life.
It provides an opportunity for the newcomers to interact with university leadership, faculty, and student leaders while learning about the institution’s values, academic expectations, and extracurricular opportunities.
The DVC’s circular, copied to the Vice Chancellor, Deputy Vice Chancellor (AFD), and Senior Assistant Registrar (SAR), underscores the administration’s commitment to fostering a vibrant academic and social environment for all students.
Fresher’s Day is often marked by entertainment, speeches, and interactive sessions designed to motivate students to embrace discipline, hard work, and unity as they begin their academic journey at Alupe University.
