Orientation Week for New Students Commences at SEEU

On Thursday (15 September 2011), Orientation week commenced for all new enrolled students at the South East European University. In the solemn ceremony, SEEU’s Rector Prof. Dr. Zamir Dika, Pro-Rector for Academic Issues Prof. Dr. Paul Foster and President of SEEU’s Student Union, Pajtim Thaçi, wished a warm welcome to freshmen.

“Be sure that you as students of the South East European University, should feel special. Specifically because you will study in the most beautiful environment in the region, with conditions to study that envy quite a number of European universities,” said Rector Dika. You will feel special during all these years of your studies, because you will study at the university where standards are more advanced and more European in the region and I can proudly say that SEEU is harmonized with the Bologna system–a synonym for major reforms in higher education in Europe.

“We ask you to become good, hardworking, interested and curious students, to ask, give your critical views and be active in learning. If we play our roles properly, together and with responsibility, then I assure you from this amphitheatre will emerge wise leaders, successful business managers, professional and above all recognized worthy citizens of the new Europe based on knowledge,” said among others Rector Dika.

The Provost and Pro-Rector for Academic Issues Prof. Dr. Paul Foster, wished a warm welcome to new students by asking them to be creative, brave, hardworking, in order to have a bright future.

“We, the administration and academic staff of the University pledge to you that we will put your interest first and we will offer you first class services and academic programs. This is our task for you,” said among other Provost Foster.

The President of the SEEU Student Union, Pajtim Thaci, said that SEEU is the best choice as an investment in the future of the freshmen. He asked new students to work closely with the Union and be an active part of it because the Student Union was created for the student interest.

During orientation week, students will be introduced to the University infrastructure, equipped with student identification documents (ID cards), prepare schedules, and will be introduced to advisers for student affairs and administration of the University. Moreover, freshmen students will be introduced to the main university services, such as Student Services, IT services, Library, Career services and Faculties in which they have chosen to study.
