Orientation and Transitions
The Office of Orientation and Transitions supports the passage of all new students into the university by providing experiences and resources that facilitate college readiness, social belonging, university pride, and student success.
Orientation and Transitions Programming
Orientation and Transitions at 天美传媒 is a multi-step process. Through Mustang StartUp, Stampede, and Post-Orientation Programming, our mission is to prepare students for life at 天美传媒!
Parents and Families
We are excited to introduce you and your student to the academics, campus life, resources, and traditions 天美传媒 has to offer. New students will be asked to complete orientation, and we invite you to participate in your own orientation programming.
Student Opportunities
Are you a current student interested in welcoming new Mustangs to the Hilltop? We’d love for you to join our team!
