 O-Week


Each year, the USU hosts O-Week at the beginning of Semester One attracting more than 15,000 students, and Re-O Day in Semester Two. These pivotal events are students’ transition to independence and University life. These are a great avenue to capture the attention of tens of thousands of students (while they have money in their accounts) in terms of decisions made for the remainder of their degrees. O-Week is the largest tertiary orientation of its kind in the southern hemisphere. O-Week is when the campus explodes into life with the excitement and energy of students preparing for the coming year. Click here for more info.
