Tiger Talk Events for Students

We know that during the transition to college, one of your top concerns is meeting other students. That’s why we’ve developed fun pre-orientation events that will connect you with current students and other new students who have similar interests. These events are not required and operate on a first-come-first serve basis. Space is limited; therefore early registration is encouraged. We strongly encourage you to kick off your Towson experience with these unique events.

Parent Drive-Ins

Parent Drive-Ins are especially helpful for families who have never sent a student to college. During these three-hour sessions, parents and guardians will learn what to expect from the college transition, including the best ways to support their student. These events will be held at the same time as the Tiger Talks events and on move-in day; however, parents may attend any session date, even if their student is not attending the Tiger Talks program. Space is limited for the summer sessions, so we encourage parents to register early. There will be additional orientation events for parents on move-in day, Saturday, August 24. Watch for the Parent Pride Special Edition newsletter coming your way in early June with a complete list of programs and activities.
