Orientation & Transition Experiences uses social networking to communicate and connect with our audiences. We also work closely with University departments and colleges to share information that is relevant to all of our followers.

General accounts for all audiences


Audience specific accounts

These groups have been created to help students connect with each other, as well as the U of M. These groups are closed, so membership needs to be requested. Parents and families: these groups are for students only.

Please note: 'Class of' Facebook Groups are being phased out due to low engagement. The Class of 2028 group will be the last official group created.

You may be declined or deleted from these groups if we cannot verify your information.

Orientation & Transition Experiences will do our best to verify University affiliation. We respectfully ask that solicitors, marketers, families, etc. do not attempt to join these groups.
