Events
As an integral part of the Smith Commerce recruitment strategy, High School Liaison participates in many events throughout the year. Events fall under two main categories: promotion and transition. Events that fall into the first category work to promote Smith Commerce to prospective students during Fall Preview Days, March Break Open House, Summer Orientation to Academics and Resources (SOAR) and the Ontario University Fair (OUF). The latter aid in helping accepted students transition into the program by facilitating online communications, leading orientation days prior to the start of the semester, and participating in mentorship events throughout the school year.
