Hey QDC First Years!

Welcome to QDC’s info page for all things First Year! Start off by joining the First Year WhatsApp group chat below!

For the 2025/26 season, QDC is proud to bring back its club-wide mentorship initiative - QDC Duos!  This initiative is designed to help new members of QDC become more familiar with the club and its various events through the guidance of a returning club member.

Our goal is to create a more inclusive, welcoming space for all club members, and for those involved to make some amazing new friends no matter their year of study! Commitment will be attendance at least 1 QDC-run event (e.g., Mid-Year Recital, I <3 QDC Day, etc.) and any amount of independent activities where you and your duo can get to know each other better. This could include a study date, coffee, a movie night, a night downtown, etc. We would love to get to know as many new faces as possible, and have our more experienced members helping guide in the studio this year!
