From Freshmen to True NCKU Members
The Freshman Growth Camp is more than an orientation; it gives incoming students a holistic start to university life. Over three days, new students explore the campus, connect with peers, and gain insights from senior students and industry speakers. Featuring talks, campus tours, exhibitions, and evening events, the program combines learning, teamwork, and self-discovery to help freshmen adapt quickly, find direction, and develop to true NCKU members.
