The best way to start your day is by reviewing the Orange and Blue Day program on the UTEP Go App. Identify activities based on your academic major, interests, or steps to enroll. Options include housing and campus tours, orientation sign-ups, and meetings with Admission or Financial Aid counselors.
For instance, if you're into Science, attend the College of Science Showcase on Centennial Plaza, visit the College of Science at the Browsing Fair info, then take a housing or campus tour. If interested in Financial Aid, join the presentation at Magoffin Auditorium and connect with a counselor at the Enrollment Hub.
In addition, I could also stop by to chat with a current UTEP student and learn more about how to get involved on campus by speaking and the student organization fair.
