ROAR Orientation Sessions
ROAR Orientation is an opportunity for individuals to begin to express their roar at the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV). It is an event specifically designed for new Jaguars who want to discover everything our institution has to offer.

We will give you all the information you need to feel confident for your first day of class.
