Each meetup will have a theme, indicated in the table above. For example, the theme of Meetup 1B will be “Campus Tour.”  

Every meetup will run at two different times* depending on if the meetup is in-person or online. The online meetups all have odd meetup numbers and will run 10pm – 12am EDT every other Thursday, starting on June 29, 2023. The in-person meetups have even meetup numbers and will run 2pm – 4pm EDT every other Wednesday, starting on July 5, 2023. Please note that there may be exceptions to these dates and times.

For more information on a specific session, click the corresponding time in the table. You can also find the descriptions for each session in the Calendar.

The structure and content of the in-person and online meetups will vary but cover similar themes. Our hope is that students in different time zones or with varying schedules will be able to join the online session and those who are available and reside in Toronto or the GTA will be able to attend the in-person meetups.

Online meetups will be conducted over Zoom. If you are subscribed to our EngSci Orientation Newsletter, you will receive a registration form for each session a week in advance. In person meetups will happen at varying locations depending on the meetup, refer to the EngSci Newsletter for exact locations.

If you have yet to subscribe to the newsletter, it’s not too late! Complete the newsletter sign-up form now.  

*These times are subject to change throughout the summer depending on student feedback. 


In-person meetups will be held in the EngSci Common Room, seen below. The Common Room has been recently renovated!
