IVEY
O-WEEK
2024
Welcome to Ivey, HBA 2026s
Welcome to Ivey, incoming HBAs!!
On behalf of the Orientation Week Leaders (OWLs), we want to send our biggest
congratulations on your acceptance to Ivey! We are thrilled to welcome you to what promises to
be an unforgettable O-Week and a year filled with incredible experiences and lasting memories.
Our 150 person OWL team cannot wait to meet all 778 of you very soon and help ease your
transition into the Ivey family. It feels like just yesterday that we were standing where you are
now—nervous, excited, and maybe even a sense of imposter syndrome. But rest assured,
everyone finds their place at Ivey, and we’re here to support you 100% of the way, both
academically and personally. Our commitment to you doesn’t stop after Orientation Week–we
will be here to support you throughout your entire HBA journey. Our goal is to ensure your
experience at Ivey is as great, if not better, than the one we had.
The Ivey Business school is full of some of the most amazing people you will ever meet, both
academically, and personally. You will have the opportunity to connect with some of the most
amazing speakers, learn from outstanding professors, and face new and exciting challenges.
Before diving in, take a moment to reflect on what you want to achieve over the next eight
months, and that can be anything, not just getting a job! We encourage you to embrace every
opportunity and get involved in the Ivey community in any way you can, whether that be running
for section president, joining a club, or applying to OWL! At the same time, remember to
prioritize your well-being—physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you ever need support—be it
academic, career-related, or personal—take advantage of Ivey’s many resources, or reach out
to an OWL. We’re here for you!
Over the past five months, our Orientation Team has been hard at work planning a phenomenal
week filled with events and activities. You’ll have plenty of chances to bond with your section,
meet faculty, and work with your OWL to ensure you feel ready for the first day of classes.
Beyond ourselves, program administration, faculty, the HBAA, Ivey Clubs, and others have been
working tirelessly to make your introduction to the HBA program fulfilling, engaging, and safe.
We can’t wait for you to experience what being part of the Ivey community is all about—from
section socials to early 8am starts, to somewhat forceful 48-hour LT bonding sessions, and so
much more. We’re excited to meet you all soon and are grateful for the privilege to support you
through your HBA1 year.
If you have any questions about O-Week, the program, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to
reach out!
