Meet the 2013 Horizons Coordinators Each year the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs sponsors Horizons for incoming African, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students. Horizons is an orientation program designed to assist new multicultural students in their transition to the University of Miami. Horizons introduces new freshmen to our diverse community and provides them with an opportunity to meet and interact with new and returning students. Participants will also meet faculty and administrators who will discuss some of the academic, personal and social adjustment issues that you may experience.
