A Busy September Sets the Tone for the Year at NVIT September at Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) is always a whirlwind, and this year was no exception! We kicked off the academic year by welcoming new learners from our Merritt and Vancouver campuses, alongside online and returning students, with a grand orientation on September 3rd. This year’s orientation was the largest yet, with over 100 students at our Merritt campus and more than 45 at our Vancouver campus. The day was filled with informative sessions and exciting activities aimed at equipping our learners for their journey at NVIT. To top it off, everyone went home with great swag and door prizes!
WHAT HAPPENED ON CAMPUS? Cultural Workshop by NVIT Elders But the warm welcomes didn’t end there. On the following day, a casual lunch helped our new and returning students settle into campus life. As part of embracing Indigenous education, Elders and knowledge keepers facilitated special cultural
activities, including drumming, eading, drum making, and cedar bracelet crafting. These meaningful experiences marked the beginning of our learners’ connection to Indigenous traditions at NVIT
