Parent and Family Orientation
UTC Orientation is a family experience and as such we offer programming for parents and family members! Whether you are a parent, guardian, significant other, etc. we recognize the important role you've played in helping get your student this far. We want to invite you to learn more about the University and the many resources and opportunities it provides and allow us to welcome you and your student to the UTC family!
