SMU FRESHMEN ORIENTATION
ABOUT FRESHMEN ORIENTATION
Freshmen Orientation (FO) is SMU’s largest freshmen event, where freshmen are formally inducted into SMU. It offers an exciting opportunity for new students to connect with peers from different schools while participating in a variety of fun and meaningful activities organized by the FO Organising Committee. It is the perfect start to the SMU journey, where lasting memories and friendships are forged!
FRESHMEN ORIENTATION 2025
We're excited to unveil this year's Freshmen Orientation theme: ‘SMU is Our Playground’!
A playground isn't just about swings and slides - it's where we grow, explore, and connect.
At SMU, the spirit of play lives through every student who steps on campus. To celebrate this, our community is brought to life through four vibrant clans: Amity, Valor, Zen, and Lumina - each representing a unique facet of student life: kindness, bravery, calmness, and intelligence. Whether you're leading the charge, lifting others up, thinking deeply, or simply spreading good vibes, there's a place for you in this playground we call SMU.
Each day, you’ll face different trials that test your creativity, courage, composure, and intellect. As you journey through this playground, you’ll not only uncover the magic of SMU’s vibrant community but also discover your hidden strengths. Are you ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and adventure?
