Abstract
Freshmen orientation programmes are important milestones of university life. In Dentistry, orientation helps build camaraderie and friendship among the small undergraduate student enrolment. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, freshmen orientation featured overnight camps, mass games and group activities which involved face-to-face interactions. With the pandemic, precautionary measures were put in place to curb the spread of the virus. A key measure was the radical move away from face-to-face activities. This had a profound impact on the conduct of the orientation programme in Dentistry. The authors share their experiences as student organisers of a first-ever online freshmen orientation programme (involving 72 freshmen and 60 seniors), and highlight key lessons gleaned from the experience.
