Organised by the University Scholars Club (USC), USP Freshmen Orientation Week (O’Week) builds on the friendships developed among the freshmen during USC Camp earlier this month, to further integrate the freshmen into our community. They will be exposed to the wide range of opportunities that USP provides and the diversity of people here in USP. We hope to see them get involved, shape, and develop our community in the next four years.
