First Engagements

Transylvania’s New Student Orientation

There is much to look forward to during your first year at Transy! The First Engagements Week helps incoming first-year and transfer students become familiar with the campus experience and the many resources and programs available to them. 

The First Engagements Course gives new students their first experience in a college class. Your First Engagements professor will serve as your academic advisor for your first year at Transy. This is your opportunity to get acclimated to campus!
