The UST Tiger Media Network is set to release Onboarding Week 2022: Unearthing the Treasure, a series of live streams to showcase the university’s history, tradition, and culture through various performances, from August 3-9, 2022, via Facebook Live.
Commencing the post-brigade on August 3 is the release of the first episode of the three-episode special entitled “Tatak Tomasino: Onboarding Week Special”, which will honor the long-preserved National Cultural Treasures within the university, as well as discuss the traditions, student life, and events that the Thomasians celebrate annually. The second and third episodes will be aired on August 5 and 7, respectively.
On August 5, a virtual ROARientation will be facilitated by the Communication Bureau from 8 AM to 12 NN.
The freshmen will witness and experience in-person three events on August 9, namely, ROARientation 2022, Thomasian Welcome Walk 2022: A Walk to Treasure, and the Unboxing of the New UST Block Letters and Tiger Statue. A live broadcast of these events will be aired on Tiger TV’s Facebook page and shared by the official Facebook page of UST.
ROARientation 2022 is an event consisting of entertainment acts coupled with Thomasian values, aiming to parade the university’s historical and cultural relevance beyond excellence. This event that will be held in two batches, 9 AM and 3 PM, consists of an opening number, interactive games, live performances, and the batch dance.
Furthermore, Thomasian Welcome Walk 2022: A Walk to Treasure will manifest the tradition of entering the Arch of the Centuries to signify the beginning of one’s journey as a Thomasian. This segment will be facilitated in two batches, 11 AM and 5 PM. Consecutively, at 6 PM, the new UST Block Letters and Tiger Statue will be unboxed.
To introduce the freshmen to Tiger TV and Tiger Radio, TMN On-Ground: Treasuring the Thomasian Experience will be set up at the Quadricentennial Pavilion consisting of four booths: Tiger Radio Booth, Tiger TV Booth, Website Booth, and Photo Booth.
The Tiger Radio Booth will allow the students to speak and engage inside the TR booth while broadcasting it live through mixlr.com. Meanwhile, the Tiger TV Booth posts a spiel challenge for them.
Moreover, freshies may win Premium Merchandise and a possible sponsorship with Switch as they complete a short survey inside the Website Booth. A photo souvenir, containing a QR code leading to the TMN website/ Tiger TV page, from the face-to-face event will also be provided in the Photo Booth.
