The Orientation Week organizers also launched the “What ISME Means to Me” contest to give new students a chance to express their unspoken feelings.
“Each of us, when stepping into ISME, carried different feelings and expectations of a new journey, but perhaps the biggest common ground was the excitement of finding a place where we belong…”, “ISME has brought us together, transforming 20 unique ‘puzzle pieces’ with 20 distinct personalities into one collective class of I20 S5, and together, we accompanied each other through all the activities. We awkwardly played the crab-walk game together on the first day and ‘discovered NEU’ together with team-building games that boosted our unity. We also completed the Big Assignment and brainstormed ideas for a unique class logo and slogan that reflect our uniqueness…”. The endless stream of emotions shared by the new students during the contest expressed their deep feelings toward ISME, their peers, senior students, and the faculty members.
The classes shared an excitement of having their submissions reach a wide audience
Despite lasting for only 5 days, Orientation Week 2024 left memorable impressions on the 20th intake students of IBD@NEU and BBAE students of intake 66. Each student not only created beautiful memories during this journey but also gained valuable lessons and significant personal growth. The “Thousand Shining Stars” journey has opened a promising new chapter, marking the beginning of a challenging yet joyful college experience.
