Ask Me, I'm Orange
Have a question?
Need directions?
"Ask Me, I'm Orange" is a campus-wide initiative that allows new students to interact with current students, faculty, staff and administrators on campus. These volunteers help new students adjust to the campus by answering any questions students have prior to arriving on campus and throughout the academic year. Below is a list of the different ways the "Ask Me, I'm Orange" team can assist you.
During the summer:
- Any questions about orientation activities or what to expect for the upcoming year. You can e-mail
askmeiamorange@durhamcollege.ca and one of our students will promptly respond to your question.
- Call the Ask Me I'm Orange Hotline at 905.721.2000 ext. 2855 Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and one of our students can answer your questions in person. After hours, leave us a message and we will call you back!
During Orientation Week:
- Look around campus and you will find friendly faces that can provide directions and answers to any questions you have about the campus and orientation events. For easy identification during the first week of classes, the volunteers will be wearing white t-shirts with the "Ask Me, I'm Orange" logo.
- The Ask Me, I'm Orange volunteers will have maps to hand out to help you navigate the campus.
Year-round:
- Volunteers are your informal mentors who can be approached at any time throughout the year to answer your questions or offer some guidance.
- Student volunteers will have "Ask Me, I'm Orange" tags and buttons attached to their study bags identifying them as participants in the program.
- Faculty, administration and staff volunteers will display the "Ask Me, I'm Orange" logo in their office windows or work space.
