5 MUST dos during Orientation

15 July 2022

University is one of the biggest investments of your life so it’s important to get that balance right! 

When you’re new to university, it can seem like a lot to take in.  

You might assume that all these open days are essentially the same: you get a tour of the campus and a list of talks, presentations, and events, and leave again. However, there is much more especially for people wanting to turn their ideas into reality, all while they’re still at uni!  

Entrepreneurship is an in-demand skill and our UTS Startups community is a great place to discover what it's all about. Meet UTS students and alumni who are building tech-enabled businesses; find out who they are, how they did it and how you can do it too. We'll even help you find your own startup idea! 

So here are 5 MUST dos to get started at Orientation this Spring! 

1. UTS O'Day - WIN with UTS Startups

Drop by UTS Startups @ Central and test your claw machine skills! Or better yet, challenge one of our startup founders at foosball! Win or lose... kick back, and find out how they got started, or bounce your own ideas with them.

2. UTS Startups Confessions

Ever wonder how they really did it? Presenting stories from UTS Startups Founders where we explore their journey, what really helped them, how they got there, and how you can too. Join us in person at UTS Startups @ Central or watch the live stream at utsstartups.com. 

3. Connect with UTS Student Life

UTS offers a rich buffet of opportunities to pursue new interests, make new friends, have fun and develop a toolkit of soft skills that you can use in your future career. This panel will introduce you to this tantalising buffet of programs, explaining what they do and how you can get involved. 

4. O'night by Start Up Link UTS 

Fun social networking night to meet like-minded people have some food and drinks before getting into the second semester. 

5. Get Started at UTS

Get Started at UTS is an on-campus session that allows you to connect with your campus, meet other new commencing students at UTS, and presents how to work well in teams at university. 

Don’t forget to add them to your 2022 UTS Orientation Program!

 

Develop the skills, knowledge and confidence that you need to explore entrepreneurship in your career with UTS Startups - the largest community of startups in Australia.
