Eleven days until the new semester.<\/h2>\n

Fall semester starts on September 8, 2015, and preparations for the new Applied Business Technology (ABT) students are gathering momentum. On the first day we run an orientation event that gives new students the opportunity to meet instructors, receive timetables, tour the facilities, and ask questions. It is the start of a six-month journey, and helps make students feel at ease in their new environment.<\/p>\n

New ABT Alumni Facebook Group.<\/h2>\n

After all the excitement of the end of term activities and convocation<\/a> in June, we have been busy working with the UFV Alumni Association on setting up a Facebook group for UFV ABT Alumni. If you are one of our alumni, you can now sign up for news updates, job postings and networking opportunities here: www.facebook.com\/groups\/UFVABTAlumni<\/a><\/p>\n

A few places left for September.<\/h2>\n
