CONNECT • CONTRIBUTE • CREATE
Welcome to Austin College! Transfer Student Orientation is designed to help you think about how you will connect, contribute and create during your time at Austin College! We look forward to meeting you.
CONNECT
We think the best way to feel right at home is to learn your way around the programs, services, and opportunities available to all ’Roos. At Orientation, you will connect with your new community where we will show you around campus and introduce you to your mentors and fellow students.
CONTRIBUTE
We’re glad your path has brought you to Austin College, and we look forward to the ways you will share the experience and knowledge that you bring with you. Your new college home has the usual opportunities: residential life, challenging academics, and social activities. And Austin College offers places and ways to use your talents in unique clubs, organizations, research projects, fine arts, and so much more.
CREATE
Now that you are here, you can envision the exciting path ahead. The Compass Curriculum has built-in flexibility for not only pursuing your passion but also exploring new things. Here, you can create the ultimate vision board that will lead to a fulfilling life and career.
