1st Year Students (Aug 18-21)

Note: Schedule is tentative and subject to change!

Starting college is a lot like flying on a plane; the thought of traveling to some place far away can be exciting, but the anxiety associated with what to expect or what might happen once you get there can make you nervous and anxious. Thunderbird Flight School builds on what is learned at Orientation to help ensure you are ready to succeed when classes start August 27. It is designed to help minimize your nervousness and anxiety and make certain you understand the expectations associated with your academic experience.

The schedule provides both educational and social opportunities for all participants. The schedule is a work in progress, although the three prestigious and helpful speakers, denoted with an icon (), are confirmed and your attendance is required. If you have questions about Thunderbird Flight School, you should direct them to the Orientation Office at (435) 586-1932 or orientation@suu.edu.
