Fall New Student Orientation is mandatory for all new RTS Jackson students, which includes anyone who began classes on or after June 1, 2020. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to host our summer orientation, so this event is for all new summer and fall students, and any other student who has never attended a campus-wide orientation.

The orientation will take place on Wednesday, August 19, and will be largely split up by program (MDiv/MA & MAC) to allow for appropriate social distancing. All sessions including the separate program lunches will be held in the Sam Patterson Student Center, with exception to the Library tours. Students, faculty, and staff attending the event will be required to wear masks, remain socially distanced, and regularly wash their hands to minimize the amount of exposure between individuals.
