Horizons Program

Untitled Document

Each year the Department of Multicultural Student Affairs sponsors Horizons for incoming African, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students.

Horizons is an orientation program designed to assist new multicultural students in their transition to the University of Miami. This program compliments the University's new student orientation program by presenting students with a preview of campus life.

Horizons introduces new freshmen to our diverse community and provides them with an opportunity to meet and interact with new and returning students. Participants will also meet faculty and administrators who will discuss some of the academic, personal and social adjustment issues that you may experience.

Parents are welcome to attend the Welcome Reception beginning at 10 am. The remainder of the program is specifically geared to answering student?s questions about college life. We ask parents and families to participate in Parent Orientation.

Important Note: Horizons precedes the University-wide orientation that takes place in the evening on August 21st. All students are expected to participate in this Orientation program.
