ReImagine & Welcome Back Lunch
Welcome Back to Sauder: Two Ways to Kick Off Your Year
ReImagine Your Sauder Experience or Join Us for Lunch
Returning to Sauder this fall? Start the new school year in a way that works for you. We’re offering two opportunities created just for returning BCom students.
ReImagine is a chance to experience Imagine Day again, as an upper-year student. Whether you missed Imagine Day when you first started, didn’t get the most out of it at the time, or simply want to reconnect and meet new people, this is your opportunity to start the year with intention, and community.
Spend the day in a small group of other returning students guided by Senior Orientation Leaders, attend some Imagine Day programming, and enjoy our Welcome Back Lunch with pep rally streaming, games, puzzles, painting, and more, before exploring all the booths along main mall at the Campus Life Expo.
If you’re looking for something more casual, you can also join us for the Welcome Back Lunch, open to all returning students.
Option 1: ReImagine + Welcome Back Lunch
Want to re-experience Imagine Day as an upper-year? Join us for ReImagine — a special opportunity for returning BCom students.

Why join?
Maybe you missed Imagine Day when you started at Sauder, didn’t take it all in the first time, or simply want to meet new people and start the year with a sense of connection. Join a small group of fellow returning students, guided by Senior Orientation Leaders, and reflect on what your Sauder experience means to you now.
