The Faculty of Community Services (FCS) and the Ryerson Community Services Society co-hosted the third annual FCS Orientation Day on August 28 to welcome new students to campus. Following their academic orientation sessions, new students from across the faculty gathered in the Ryerson Quad for a BBQ lunch and frosh activities. Read on for some of our favourite moments.
