Stampede

Orientation and Transition Programming

Stampede is the ultimate student-only experience designed to welcome all new Mustangs to the Hilltop. Students beginning classes for the first time in the spring semester will attend a January Stampede and students starting classes for the first time either in the summer or fall semesters will attend Stampede in August.

Is Stampede Required?

All new students are expected to attend Stampede. Orientation is your time to make new friends, learn our amazing traditions, explore campus, and learn how to be a successful student both in and outside of the classroom. Make sure to have your Student ID with you when checking in Stampede events.
