## Biggest Orientation in Five Years
ELA
Date • 1 min read
This month we hosted a large orientation at the Faculty of Arts and Education building, welcoming nearly 300 new students to the ELA family. Most students were short-term groups from our Japanese partner universities, as well as a number of individual students from around the world. We're sure they all had fantastic start to their ELA journey.
