On 30 August 2024, the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at PolyU successfully hosted its Orientation Day for all incoming undergraduate and master’s programme freshmen. The event was held in a face-to-face format, marking a vibrant start to the new academic year.
Prof. Wu Chen, Chair Professor of Satellite Navigation and Head of LSGI, warmly welcomed the new students and provided an insightful introduction to the department. He also took the opportunity to introduce the academic, teaching, and support staff, ensuring that the students felt acquainted with the team dedicated to their educational journey. The orientation was a valuable opportunity for our faculty and support staff to meet nearly 200 new faces, fostering a sense of community from the outset.
To ensure a strong start to the semester, the orientation included detailed programme introductions by the respective programme leaders. Additionally, representatives from the Library and the Office of General University Requirements were invited to share essential information and resources available to students. This comprehensive approach aimed to equip students with the knowledge and tools needed for a successful academic experience.
During the break-out sessions, undergraduate students had the chance to meet their academic advisors, establishing important connections that will support their academic planning and personal development throughout their time at PolyU. Master’s students also had the opportunity to meet their programme leaders and gain an understanding of the essential information and different academic paths for their upcoming studies.
We hope that all students found the orientation informative and helpful, setting the stage for a rewarding and enjoyable university life at PolyU.
