NUS Orientation Leadership Seminar (NOLS)

The NUS Orientation Leader Summit (NOLS) is meant to serve as an opportunity for student leaders of all student groups intending to conduct Freshman Orientation Programmes to engage in mindset framing, engage with key considerations in the planning and implementation of programmes and pick up best practices and tools. Together with peers, student leaders will spend the day reflecting on how their personal and group objectives for FOP translate into how they conduct their camps and programmes to provide the best possible experience they can for the incoming students.

Who Should Attend: Student Organisations’ Presidents, Vice Presidents, Programme Directors, and Chief Safety Officers 


Situational Judgement Training and Reflection (SJTR)

The Situational Judgement Training and Reflection (SJTR) comprises several real-life case scenarios that depict situations encountered during orientation. Orientation leaders are required to respond and make choices at decision points and justify your reasoning and rationale for them. These case scenarios are developed together with previous orientation leaders, using their actual experience on the ground.  

Student Leaders will be given a FOC lanyard as evidence of their completion of this training.
