The Lazaridis School of Business & Economics Fall 2026 Graduate Student Orientation is an opportunity for new graduate students to connect with the Lazaridis community. On day 1, you’ll meet key Lazaridis faculty, engage with the Lazaridis Graduate Programs Office team, and receive important program-specific information, as well as an introduction to the career development team.

Engaging in career development is a vital part of your Lazaridis graduate experience and will be the focus for the second day of the Lazaridis Graduate Programs Orientation. Managing your career is one of the most important and ongoing commitments you’ll make throughout your professional life, and the Lazaridis Career Development Team is here to support you every step of the way. We have many career events planned in the fall term and will share more information during day 2 of the Lazaridis Graduate Orientation.
