Join Katie Sarria, Director of Student Orientation and Transition Programs at the UNF, for an inside look at how UNF reimagined orientation for today’s students. With over 15 years in higher education, Katie shares how the university used Advantage Orientation® to transform a presentation-heavy format into a dynamic, student-centered experience that builds belonging from the start.
