NIM开学啦！！

NIM Students Orientation Day！

NIM学生迎新日！

Today, we welcome our freshmen from all around the world. We got students from China, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam arriving at our campus bright and early.

今天，我们迎接来自世界各地的新生到校。NIM有来自中国、缅甸、菲律宾、越南等国家和地区的新学生们，在今天早早地来到校园。

We were as excited as them to start the term with an explosive burst of energy! To kick-start the day, we gave our warmest welcome given by our Vice President, Mr Wilson Ang, and made them feel as comfortable as possible. Afterwhich, they were given a full walkthrough of our various schools (School of Business, School of Early Childhood Education, School of Engineering, School of Language, School of Logistics, School of Tourism & Hospitality), the academics, students services staff and even our student councils!

大家都一样地兴奋，都期待以爆发式的能量迎接新学期的到来！副校长Wilson Ang先生致辞，为了拉开新的序幕，也为让新生们感受到热情和舒适。之后新生们参观了NIM的各个院系（商学院、幼儿教育学院、语言学院、物流与供应链学院、旅游与酒店学院），以及和学生服务人员，甚至我们的学生会沟通交流！

Coming from overseas, especially at such a young age definitely brings some jitters, but they all warmed up pretty quickly with one another over lunch! Lunch was nothing short of delicious local delicacies, simple yet showing the delights of Singapore’s food.

远赴海外，尤其是在这么小的年纪，肯定会有一些不安，但新生们很快在午餐时就开始了热烈的交流！午餐是美味的当地食物，简单却带来了新加坡美食的第一印象。

Right after lunch, they gathered once more for a fun activity!

To strengthen their bond and connection, we’ve arranged an Amazing Race challenge! The students were randomly grouped for them to mingle around and expand their network. 

午饭后，大家又聚在一起进行了一次有趣的活动！为了加强新生之间的联系，我们安排了一场精彩的挑战赛！学生们被随机分组，四处交流，以扩大他们的人际网络。

Our lecturers from various schools (School of Business and Logistics; Mr Johnson Teo and Mr Alex Tan, School of Language, Leonisa; School of Engineering, Ms Thong Sue-Yen; School of Tourism and Hospitality, Dr Audie Wee and Ms Genieve Wong) were very involved being their gatekeeper for this activity!

我们来自不同院系的讲师（物流与供应链学院的Johnson Teo先生和Alex Tan先生，语言学院的Leonisa，工程学院的Thong Sue-Yen女士；旅游与酒店学院的Audie Wee博士和Genieve Wong女士）都热情参与，非常投入的加入活动！

They went ahead to strategize their route and worked together as one to complete the activity. The added challenge was, it has to be done by foot! Our students were guided by the student council team, and through this activity, our freshmen got a better understanding about Singapore!

大家共同制定路线战略，并团结一致完成活动。额外的挑战是，必须步行完成！新生们在学生会团队的指导下，成功通过这次活动，也让大家对新加坡有了更好的了解！

All of the teams fulfilled the locations and of course, what’s a challenge without prizes! We celebrated and gave out the prizes for the group with the highest point!

所有的团队都完成了，当然有挑战就会有奖励！我们一起庆祝的同时也为获得最高分的小组颁发了奖品！

We had the honor to invite our Academic Dean, Craig Albrightson to give out the prize to the winning team! The day was concluded with a photo-taking session to mark this memorable orientation.

It was really a fun and enjoyable day! We look forward to the start of the new term!

我们有幸邀请到学院教学院长Craig Albrightson先生为获奖团队颁奖！当天的活动以大合影结束，以纪念这一次令人难忘的迎新活动。这真是有趣又愉快的一天！我们期待着新学期的开始！
