With over 100 years of tradition, Smith Commerce Orientation Week is one of the oldest and most elaborate of its kind!
Not only is Smith Commerce Orientation Week an incredible opportunity to learn about the program and meet fellow Commerce students, but it is an experience that is bound to stick with you far beyond your University career. We can't wait to kick off your Smith Commerce experience with the best Orientation Week possible!

THE FACES OF
ORIENTATION WEEK
Orientation Week would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the "Bosses," otherwise known as Orientation Leaders. Each Boss is a student leader within the Commerce program excited to lead the incoming class on their Orientation Week journey. In short, the Bosses' role is to connect with Incoming Students and support them in navigating this new and often uncomfortable experience. But more than that, the Bosses build lasting relationships with the incoming class, providing mentorship support for the entirety of each student's four years.
The Commerce Executive on Orientation's mission is to set you up for success during your time at Queen's. Through our Instagram tips, Orientation Week Primer, and knowledgeable Bosses, we will provide you with the tools and support to thrive in the Smith Commerce program.
We understand that the incoming class will have a variety of unique questions and concerns. In alignment with our accessibility and inclusion values, we invite all Incoming Commerce Students to reach out to CEO with questions and concerns regarding Orientation Week 2022.
