GLO-WEEK! Orientation 2024
The moment has finally arrived! O-WEEK!!!!! Or should we say GLO-WEEK? You’ll notice a glimmer of glow-y-ness radiating throughout our events this year — a theme we chose because we want to shine a light on all the hard work you've put into getting this far.
All event details for O-Week and any future events throughout the year can be found at otsu.ca/events (bookmark that page for future reference).
This year’s events include a glow-in-the-dark retro roller rink, inflatable obstacle course and carnival, esports events, free brunch with the OTSU, tie-dye t-shirt and bracelet making, and more! See full event list below.
