Registration Welcome Package
Number of individual students required: 20 We want to create a connection and build a sense of community with incoming Indigenous College Students. To accomplish that we wish to send out a welcome package when students accept their offer to come to Fanshawe College. We need insights to help anticipate the items and activities that would help students feel seen, heard and understood in a virtual delivery of the college experience through a tangible mailed parcel. Initial questions to brainstorm include, but are not limited to: 1. How might we empower students to feel a sense of community through a parcel of activities and promotional items. 2.Where to source the items to be mailed in a cost efficient manner 3. Realizing the disconnection from being virtual for a year how to create connection in that space 4. How do we establish community and empower learners to build connections. We are looking to gain alternative perspectives on potential community-building tactics and better understand the current learners' needs.
