This 2019 SIT Conference session shows how successfully guiding students in transition begins with virtual orientation.

This education expert faced three times the number of students transitioning since the early 2000s. Old orientation programs dumped information on students in a short amount of time, not giving them adequate time to process the details. Orientation attendance was low and emotional turmoil from the change was high. It was time to deliver student-centered orientation in a student time zone.

Today, orientation is the University of Tampa’s first Student Affairs hybrid program.
