Post-Orientation Programming

After Stampede, the fun has only just begun! Our new Mustangs are eager to get plugged into the many clubs and organizations on èßäÊÓƵapp. Our office works with several èßäÊÓƵapp partners to provide students with ample opportunity to get involved and continue meeting other new students.

 

Transfer Student

As a valued part of our èßäÊÓƵapp community, our we strive to create a great orientation and post-orientation experience for our Transfer students. During the start of the fall and spring semesters, we cater several sessions of Stampede to our transfer and commuter students. In addition, the Office of Orientation and Transition partners with the Office of Admissions and the University Advising Center to host a monthly luncheon for all transfer students. Each lunch features a special guest office to showcase their resources and services to students. If you are a transfer student, keep an eye on your email for monthly invitations!
