Mane event orientation program
Your UAFS Journey Starts Here—and it Starts with a Roar!
Why wait to dive into college life when you can pounce into it with Mane Event—UAFS’s official orientation experience designed just for incoming first-year students (and yes, it’s required)!
What’s Mane Event All About?
This isn't your average orientation—it’s your first big step into college, and we’ve packed the day with everything you need to feel prepared, confident, and excited about life as a UAFS Lion. You’ll:
- Meet your fellow classmates and start forming your Pride
- Connect with current students and get the real scoop on college life
- Explore campus so you feel right at home from day one
- Get insider info on housing, financial aid, scholarships, student services, and more
Families are Part of the Pride, Too!
We know that your support system matters—so we’ve planned special breakout sessions just for family and guests. They’ll hear directly from campus leaders about:
- Academic support & tutoring
- Campus safety
- Housing & meal plans
- Career services
- Scholarships & financial aid...and so much more!
Bonus: Win a Scholarship!
All registered students who attend have a chance to win scholarships—just by showing up.
Don’t Miss It!
Mane Event is required for all incoming first-time students, and it’s the best way to kickstart your experience at UAFS.
