As in previous years, the event was organized to help new students adapt to university life, strengthen friendships, and build social connections. The picnic brought together faculty members from the Department of Recreation Management, academic and administrative staff from other departments of the faculty, and students from all grade levels. Organized with the support of senior students and department staff, the event provided an opportunity for new students to meet both their peers and instructors.

During the event, faculty members shared information about the Department of Recreation Management’s educational philosophy, practical opportunities, upcoming projects, and career prospects. Senior students also addressed their new peers, emphasizing that the spirit of solidarity and sharing is among the department’s greatest strengths.

Taking place in an atmosphere aligned with the nature of recreation, the event allowed students to become more familiar with the department’s culture and strengthen their sense of belonging to the faculty. The traditional welcome picnic aimed to boost students’ morale and motivation ahead of the new academic year and concluded with a communal meal.
