PRINCE GEORGE- The College of New Caledonia welcomed students back to campus on Tuesday with smiles, burgers, and music. The fall semester marks a much greater celebration as students are returning to in-person learning after, covid-19 forced classes online.

“It’s been a long time since staff and students have been in the hallways of CNC. So we are putting on a good party for everybody – we have the free bbq and information booths to let students know what services are available to them,” said CNC Manager of Student Success and Retention, Gail Little.

For students like Harman Sandhu, he says that it is a sigh of relief to be able to be back on campus rather than continuing his studies online.

“We will be getting the chance to make new friends, meet new people and grab new opportunities in person,” said Sandhu.

The CNC Students’ Union has many plans in the works to help make this week and the rest of the year fun and welcoming for students, the orientation was just the beginning.

“We will be having an outdoor movie and outdoor games in the next few days,” added Sandhu.

CNC says that students have been following the covid guidelines set in place, wearing their masks and sanitizing their hands at the available stations. Northern health was onsite at the orientation as well providing covid-19 vaccinations to anyone who wanted to update their immunization status.

Masks are mandatory indoors at all CNC campuses. The College also promotes daily health checks prior to arriving on campus, recommending anyone with symptoms to stay home and seek medical advice.

Both Faculty and the CNC Students’ Union says that as students are navigating campus, they are more than welcome to reach out for help to the many support services available.
