This event is held to help incoming 1st and 2nd year students in the commerce and management program to explore their field of study and meet new people. They will also get the chance to meet upper year students who will act as mentors to them and help them with general queries about their program.

The virtual event will begin with a round of introductions, followed by a keynote speech, a contest and then a few hours of networking time between students and industry reps.
